What Are Media Air Filters?

Media air filters are Installed on the return air duct line and work to trap very small particles as the air handler takes air from the return ducts. Media air filters are worth every penny to provide you with efficient, top quality indoor air. They purify your air and keeps allergens away so that you can breathe the fresh, clean air circulated by your HVAC system.

MECHANICAL AND ELECTRONIC MEDIA AIR FILTERS

Options are available for the filtration method, such as mechanical or surface media filtration using fibrous, layered and pleated filters. HEPA air filters provide even greater efficiency, and electronic air cleaners work by charging the small particles and taking them from the air (also called an ionic air purifier, which is an electrostatic air cleaner). There are a variety of hybrid filters on the market today that combine the best of mechanical and electronic filtration. The cost for media air filters is determined by the design, system type, number of stages and components.
