Tiny particles small enough to inhale will pass easily through the cheaper air conditioning filters. To have good filtered clean air you'll have to look at filter quality. Particle concentrations in your home are derived from dust which is pollen, dirt, dander and many other things that are in the air. These tiny particles float around the air in your home and flow through the HVAC air conditioner or furnace system. Particle buildup will decrease the efficiency of your furnace and air conditioner, as the furnace and air conditioner has to work harder to pull air through the clogged furnace filters and dirty air conditioner coils. More expensive filters can also improve the air quality in your house by removing pollen, bacteria, dander, dirt, and mold spores from the air. Electrostatic filters are also good in this department. Electrostatic filters are filters that must be cut to fit and are more effective than the cheaper filters. What is an electrostatic air conditioner filter: It is a filter media that has an electric charge that attracts contaminants. It does this in one of two ways - they either have built in electrostatic charges or create a charge from the air moving through the system. Another type of filter is the HEPA filter. HEPA-type air purifier filters are generally cheaper than True HEPA air purifier filters, but do not filter particles as effectively. True HEPA filters are considered extremely effective at removing small particles from the air because they are able to stop 99.97 percent of those particles that are 0.3 microns in diameter or larger. True HEPA filters are used by many hospitals to keep the air clean and pure and prevent the spread of bad bacteria and virus through the air. There are HEPA filters available for residential systems. Call your local air conditioning and heating system contractor and ask them what they offer for HEPA type filters. Remember with the higher efficiency filters come the increased furnace filter maintenance. Why? Because the higher and more efficient the air conditioner filter is the more particles are going to build up and accumulate in the furnace filter. This means the higher efficient air conditioner filters load up fast because they catch more particles. This is good for your health and for your HVAC air conditioner and furnace but it is not good for your furnace filter budget since you will have to purchase air conditioner filters more frequently. The alternative to this is the electronic air cleaner. Purchasing an electronic air cleaner will save you money in the long run from purchasing furnace filters on a regular basis. The electronic air cleaner can be washed on a regular basis and as long as it is clean it filters the air as good as HEPA filters. As the electronic air cleaner cells load up the electronic air cleaner loses its efficiency so regular maintenance is recommended to keep it operating and in top filtering capacity. It doesn’t matter what type of system you have you will need to have a furnace filter routine for checking and changing (or cleaning) the air conditioner filter. A minimum check time-wise is once a month air conditioner filter checks. Keeping those filters clean and keep your air conditioner and furnace in tip top shape along with the air you breathe and your health.

Boiler Maintenance
How important is boiler maintenance? Read the boiler maintenance page. Almost as if by rote many maintenance departments begin their annual boiler maintenance in late summer to get ready for the cooler weather. Does your department understand how important the code is or do they take all this for granted? Read More on the Boiler Maintenance Page

Pollen, molds, and dust are common in any household and can be reduced by using an air filter. To maximize the benefits from cleaner indoor air you should use an electrostatic furnace filters and air conditioner filters along with a high efficiency air cleaner. Electronic Air Cleaners (EAC’s) can also offer you high quality clean air over the typical cheap air conditioner and furnace filters on the market today. Clean the air in your home and breathe easier.
