HEPA/Carbon Air Cleaner vs Electronics
Consistent Air Quality
1.
HEPA/Carbon units have a 95% grade, 12-" deep HEPA Filter that captures
95% of smoke particles 100% of the time for one full year. Your air
quality is always consistently good.
Electronic units have plated cells that lose their efficiency as the
plates are coated by smoke particles. 40 hours of run time in a heavy
smoke environment will bring their efficiency to less than 30%.
(No one would be happy driving a car rated at 30 miles per gallon that
constantly dipped to 10 miles per gallon or less; this is the reason
many establishments remove the electronic units and install our HEPA
units--that always deliver good consistent air quality 100% of the time.
Odors
2. All HEPA/Carbon Units come
with 6-Activated Carbon Filters. Each Carbon Filter will absorb 50% of
its own weight in tar & nicotine gases, getting rid of tobacco
smell and odors (this filter is changed bi-monthly); there really is no
reason for your clothes to small like cigarettes!
Most electronic units do not have
activated carbon to eliminate tar and nicotine gases and odors. Those
that do offer carbon, never recommend changing them often enough to
effectively make a difference.
Noise
3. A HEPA/Carbon unit never makes snap, pop or crackling noises.
The electronic unit, by nature, will snap, crackle and pop when dirty.
Maintenance
4. With
a HEPA/Carbon unit, each has a Pre-Filter that is changed once a month;
a Carbon Filter is located next to the Pre-Filter and is changed
bi-monthly, and the HEPA Filter is changed once a year. This entire
process takes approximately two (2) minutes per unit and can easily be
done without hiring an outside service (nothing to wash!).
The electronic cell plates must constantly be removed, cleaned, dried
and replaced. This process requires special cleaning solutions, is
messy and very time consuming. Electronic maintenance service
contracts are expensive, or to rely on a member or employee is a very
heavy burden, especially if you are cleaning the electronic cells as
often as required to maintain clean, fresh indoor air.
Warranty
5. Our Units have a Ten-Year Manufacturer's Replacement Warranty,
as long as the HEPA Filter is changed annually.
Most electronics have a one to two year parts only warranty.
