The Worst Air Filters a Homeowner Can Choose
Homeowners often attempt to improve air quality by purchasing “high efficiency” filters from home centers and hardware stores. These fill fast and WILL OBSTRUCT THE AIRFLOW so critical to your comfort and to your system’s energy-efficiency. Worse, this obstructed air flow puts extra strain on fan motors and compressors leading to expensive repairs and pre-mature equipment failure.
NO CHANGE SHOULD EVER BE MADE TO YOUR HEATING COOLING SYSTEM WITHOUT FIRST CONSULTING WITH YOUR STAN PERKOSKI’S PROFESSIONAL. Such changes may require air balancing adjustments necessary to maintain comfort and efficiency.
When it comes to clean air, here’s what we recommend:
Standard 1” blue fiberglass filters stop only the largest of particles. They’re designed to protect equipment but do little to reduce household dust and pollutants. White pleated electrostatic filters are somewhat more effective, but MUST BE CHECKED REGULARLY AND CHANGED WHEN DIRTY. That’s why we send monthly email reminders to all of our friends and customers.
The most cost-effective and energy-efficient way to clean your home’s air IS by incorporating advanced filtration and other treatments into your forced air heating and cooling system. We offer a variety of healthy air solutions including advanced filtration systems that have minimal impact on air flow and which require filter changes only two times a year.
