What are electrostatic furnace filters and how do they work? They charge the particles that are in your air and then they should be attracted to a metal plate in the filter. Some say these are the best and others say they do not think so. What you should know about them before purchasing.
- They only work when your furnace or air conditioner is running
- They will not clean your whole house
- Some particles are too heavy to be trapped into the filter and you may find they have clung to a window or a door
- You cannot burn the scented candles while using them as the waxy particles will clog the filter and eventually wreck it.
- The dust really went down after installing one and it helped with breathing problems
