Electronic Air Cleaners

Hello again,
Most people feel that electronic air cleaners will be the most efficient air filtration there is. On the surface this is correct. The EAC (electronic air cleaner) will remove about 90%-95% of the particulate matter in your air using a process of prefiltering through some aluminum filters and then ionization to charge the dust particles so they will stick to the plates. This of course only happens to the air passing through the EAC itself.
These are great for keeping the dirt out of your airflow. The price tag is about 600.00--800.00 for most of them plus installation.
These need to be cleaned every 30 days on schedule. Most of the newer ones have a reminder alarm of some sort to help home owners remember. It is critical that the cleaning is done--otherwise dirt can get into the contacts and components. This will burn the components out and the repair price tag is quite expensive.
There are many models out there--every manufacturer seems to have their own--Honeywell, Carrier, Trane, Lennox etc.
Study the specifications carefully--watch for the efficiency drop per hours of use.
Next time air purifiers.
