Q. How do your filters compare to electronic air cleaners?
Our filters are equally efficient as full size electronic air cleaners which cost $600-$800. One exception is smoke where a good electronic air cleaner can remove 40% of smoke on one pass, our filter removes only 30% of smoke on one pass. Electronic air cleaners must be cleaned at least every two weeks to keep them operating effectively. Our filters should be cleaned every 1-2 months.

Q. How long will Dust Eater last?
A lifetime if you look after it! Our filters have no electrical or moving parts to breakdown. They comes with a life time warranty and 60 day money back guarantee. If you should damage your filter in any way it can be repaired by the manufacturer for a nominal fee.

Q. Will it work if my furnace fan is not on?
No. Your furnace fan circulates the air in your entire home through your filter 2-3 times per hour. If the air is not moving it’s not being cleaned. Today’s modern furnaces circulate air continuously even if your heat is not on. Even older furnaces are on almost continuously from Fall through Spring. With continuous circulation, your heating bills are reduced and your home is more comfortable. If your air is not moving, warm air rises to the ceiling while cooler air is left at your level. All furnaces have a summer fan switch allowing you to run your furnace fan continuously. Some people install two speed motors which run the fan a 1/2 speed while the heat is not on. To obtain the very best results, continuous air circulation is recommended.

Q. How do I install your filters?
Our filters are designed to simply replace your standard disposable filter. Find out what size your disposable filter is and we will provide one of our filters of the same size. 80% of furnaces are fitted with standard rectangular filter racks or slots. We also have a hammock style filter available if this is what your furnace requires.

Q. How do I clean my filter?
It’s easy. Simply soak your dirty filter in a tub of hot water and all purpose cleaner for 10 minutes, then run a hose over it until it is clean.
