Thus, we will consider the air quality in your house. It is vital for you. You are searching for a nice and healthy place for your family. In this article, I will tell you how to get it using reusable filters.

Surely, you are using disposable fiberglass filters. They are really great to capture large dust particles. Nevertheless, they cannot filter smaller particles, such as pollen, pet dander, and other similar allergens. You are throwing away those filters each month. It seems to be a waste of money and an additional burden on your garbage processing. The reusable electrostatic filters work differently. They filter the smaller particles with the help of electrostatic power. You only need to wash them and use for many years.

Let us begin. The first thing you need to do is to measure your filter. You should just find the dimensions on the old filter’s housing. Then you can buy your “washable electrostatic air filter” in the shop like Home Depot or search it on the Internet. The best brand are AirThreds and Trophy Air. Do not buy the inexpensive and fragile filters.

The installation is really easy. First, turn off your HVAC system. Replace the old filter with the new one. There must be an arrow indicating the direction of the installation on the housing of the filter. It should point to the blower motor. Simple, right?

The most interesting thing in the whole process is the cleaning. You need to mark the date in thirty days in your calendar. Turn off the system and pull out your filter. Rinse it in the shower outside using gentle stream of water. It is important to dry your filter entirely. Otherwise, you will get mold in it. Put it back when it is entirely dry.

Surely, it is rather costly at the start. It costs you about $40 on one filter, but not going to buy another one in five years. Count the expenses and save the money on buying filters and even on your favorite coffee. In addition, there will be fewer dust bunnies bouncing around.

This is one of the steps you can take to make your house greener.
