The electronic air cleaner's pre-filter captures the larger particles. The smaller particles which pass through the pre-filter receive a positive electronic charge. Clean, filtered air is then circulated back into your residence of place of business. Electronic air filters use about as much electricity as a 30-watt light bulb. If your home uses a gas fueled furnace or gas powered appliances, they must be properly maintained to prevent the release of carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is the leading cause of accidental poisoning in the United States.
It is colourless, odourless, and tasteless and is virtually impossible for the human senses to detect. The most common symptoms include headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness and fatigue. To reduce the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning inside your home or place of business, have your furnace serviced annually by a licensed technician. An annual check-up should include a thorough inspection of the heating unit for cracks, holes, and leaks which can release carbon monixide into the air. ACU Air performs annual heating check-ups for homes and businesses in north Harris and Montgomery Counties.
