Is there such a thing as reusable air conditioner or furnace filters? Yes, there is. These reusable filters work by means of static electricity and have a number of benefits that make them more efficient and economical than disposable fiberglass filters. Here are a few facts about electrostatic air filters and what makes them so economical.
Last Up To 10 Yrs
Reusable air conditioner filters are made from a fine mesh material which can be cleaned and used over and over. They are the economical choice when it comes to selecting air filters for a couple of reasons. This type of filter is easy to clean, saves money over time and is perfect for anyone wanting a greener filtration system. Another benefit is that they can last up to 10 years with proper care.
Economical
What makes these filters so good is the fact that homeowners can save a substantial amount of money by buying something that can be reused many times. Typically, these filters cost anywhere from $20 to $50 and can be custom made to fit larger systems.
If you have wanted to start living a greener lifestyle, this would be a good start. There is no special care required, simply hose off and allow the filter to dry completely before replacing. Also called electrostatic filters they trap dust and other particles by attracting them with static electricity, the same way that socks stick to everything that comes out of your dryer.

They are compatible with every major brand of air conditioner or furnace and completely replaces disposable filters. Using this type of filter saves the cost of buying disposable filters every month which runs from $2-$15 each, depending on the brand you buy. The demand for greener products and services increases as the public becomes more aware of the need for it. These filters are available for heating and cooling systems, air purifiers and more.
