AIR CONDITIONING ST. PETERSBURG FLORIDA

Understanding Filters

Selecting a filter for your air conditioning St. Petersburg Florida unit is akin to purchasing a barrier for dust and allergens.  An often overlooked part of HVAC systems, the filter is extremely important to a unit’s overall performance.  Choose the right one and install it within the correct time frame, and you may well notice a difference in the air quality of your indoor environment.  Understand the variety of filters available to you, and replace yours when needed.

• In today’s marketplace, disposable fiberglass filters are very common.  These barriers catch particles that might otherwise remain as dust in the air.  They also block dirt and debris from entering the unit.  Long prized for their easy installation and low expense, these filters can be replaced as often as monthly to ensure optimal efficiency.
• Pleated disposable filters use their unique shape to snag airborne particles.  Just like the fiberglass filters, they require frequent changes.
• Permanent filters are often expensive.  By using electrostatic electricity to attract unwanted pollutants, they effectively clean the air and do not require replacement.

Know which filter your air conditioning St. Petersburg unit requires, and change it often.  You will be well on your way to providing a quality indoor air environment for yourself and your loved ones.
