Which conditions are potential problems with electronic air filters?

Ozone: Electrostatic air filters do NOT protect against ozone and even have the potential to produce ozone molecules which can aggravate asthma and damage the lungs. Air Flow: If these filters are not cleaned regularly they have the potential to have a negative impact on air flow.

Are electrostatic air cleaners worth it?

Experts recommend cleaning them every two weeks to once a month at minimum. They only remove particulate matter: Electrostatic air filters reduce levels of particles in the air such as dust, pet dander and other allergens, yet they do not address harmful gases at all.

Is a whole home air purifier worth it?

For those with allergies, asthma and other respiratory conditions, a whole house air purifier is undoubtedly worth the money. The system helps reduce symptoms by removing antagonistic air pollutants. For those living in urban areas with moderate to severe traffic, whole-home air purification is well worth the money.

What is the difference between an ioniser and air purifier?

Air purifiers and ionizers use different technology to cleanse the air. While air purifiers remove particles from circulation by trapping them, ionizers simply make them heavy enough to fall to the ground meaning they still need to be cleaned up, and they can easily be disturbed and reintroduced into the air.

How often do electronic air filters need to be cleaned?
