Choose The Correct Air Conditioning Filter

The air filter in an air conditioning system keeps the cooling coils clean and ventilate inside the room air clean and free from all pollutants, most dander, ozone emissions and airborne particles. This process makes breathing easier and is good for people with respiratory illnesses.

There are a lot of different kinds of broadcast filters accessible today, such as hepa, standard, pleated, electrostatic and electronic filters. Of these, standard, pleated and electrostatic filters are the most prevalent types of filters that are placed in air conditioners. Broadly speaking these filters are situated in walls, ceilings, furnaces, or in the air conditioner itself.

Standard air filters, having the capacity of removing 10 percent of the airborne pollutants, are created of spun fiberglass with composition board frames. They should be changed once a calendar month. In some rooms, depending on where the unit is placed, once a month may be too infrequent. It depends on the air in the room.

Pleated air filters catch around 35% to 40% of the particles in the air. Due to their greater surface area with filter material folded back and forth like a paper fan, manufacturers claim that they can last from two to 4 months. The cost of these filters ranges from $5 to $20 which is fairly higher than that of standard filters.

Electrostatic filters have trickle media, which use an electric charge to pull in the dirt particles from the air passing by. These filters have the electric charge built-in, or else, the air moving through and through within the layers of the system creates the electric charge. They could cost from roughly $20 to over $100 apiece. These filters only need to be changed once a year.

Sometimes people with allergies should consider the usage of an electronic filter cleaner in their air conditioning unit, which works on the same principle as that of an electrostatic filter. However, it is far more effective than electrostatic filter and does not impede the flow of air inside the air conditioning unit. Whatever kind of air conditioner filter you use, it is advisable to checkout the cleanliness of the coils of the unit once in a calendar month.

One should check the conditioner's filter regularly. Perhaps the most important measure that can ensure the efficiency of an air conditioning appliance is the frequent change of its filters. Clogged, unclean filters block normal air flow and diminish the system's efficiency significantly by impairing the coils' heat-absorbing capacity.
