This is a relatively low cost per filter option that allows you to easily swap the dirty filter with a clean new one without breaking the bank. No cleaning of the filter is required. |
Electrostatic filters are permanent filters that require periodic cleaning to remove dust and other particles that have collected on the filter. One of the best benefits of an electrostatic filter is that it has much less of an impact on air flow while still collecting a large number of particles. This means more efficiency for your system. |

The electrostatic filter works by attracting dust and other particles using a static charge. These filters range in efficiency depending on the style of the filter, pleated being the most efficient.
A more effective filter is the pleated filter. A pleated filter is made from a denser material and the pleated design adds more surface area to the filter. The result is a filter that captures more particles than the disposable fiberglass. This is an excellent option for those who suffer from indoor allergies.
A cut to fit filter is a convenient choice for people who have a system requiring a hard to find filter size.
