What is Electrostatic?

First, let’s define what electrostatic means and how air filters use it. If you’ve ever rubbed a balloon against your hair, causing your hair to stand up, then you have experienced static electricity. Static electricity is created when there is a difference in the charges of particles. Electrostatic air filters are created from filter media that undergoes a process to “charge” it. 

What is an Electrostatic Air Purifier?

An electrostatic air purifier works like a magnet for dust and particles floating in the air. The particles float through the filter, are given an electric charge, and then pulled toward the magnetic plates, where they adhere. The dust and particles floating in the air get stuck in the device, which reduces their concentration in the air.

Electrostatic Precipitator

Electrostatic precipitators are an air purification tool that uses electrostatic force to capture and hold dust and other particles in the air. 

As with an electrostatic air purifier, the airborne particles flow because magnetic plates are charged, and then attach to the collecting plates, effectively removing them from the air. 

Electrostatic precipitators use high voltage to collect particles, which can be adjusted so the precipitator works in different situations. Electrostatic precipitators are effective in industrial workplaces, but not for your home. 

With many types of air purifiers on the market, it’s important to figure out which systems are best for residential versus commercial use.

What Electrostatic Air Cleaners Are Used For

Electrostatic air cleaners are used as a high efficiency option for collecting particles in the air, including pollen, dust mites, and carpet fibers. While reusable, eco-friendly, and cost-effective, electrostatic filters are not recommended for individuals with severe allergies or asthma, as their high efficiency an miss some of the tiniest of dust particles. 

In case you’re unfamiliar with the term, a Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) rates a filter's efficiency. Typical electrostatic air cleaners have a rating between one to four, making them a good fit for household use or for individuals who do not have severe allergies or asthma. Filters with ratings closer to 12 are best used for industrial and hospital settings. 

Benefits of Electrostatic Air Purifiers

Electrostatic air cleaners have three advantages that make them a good fit for certain situations: 

1. Cost-effective. Electrostatic air filters are permanent or reusable filters, meaning you only have to buy one for the lifetime of your heating or cooling system. While they cost more upfront, in the long run you save money. 
2. Target small particles in the air. Unlike disposable air filters, electrostatic air filters use static electricity to capture tiny particles in the air. Because of the magnetic nature of the filters, they are able to capture small, microscopic particles that traditional disposable filters could miss.  
3. Eco-friendly. As noted above, electrostatic air filters are reusable and cause less of an environmental impact than disposable counterparts.
