The electric air cleaner is unplugged or the breaker is shut off before cleaning. Caution is taken because there is voltage running through the electric air cleaner.
Cleaning the electric air cleaner takes a skillful hand. The electric air cleaner is expensive to replace and there are parts that can easily break if not handled properly. Your electric air cleaner is a very important part of filtration and minimizes contaminants from the air such as, pet dander, pollen, and odor caused by micro organisms. All these things can affect the air that is circulating through your home.
Du-More uses a biodegradable degrease along with a garden hose and nozzle to clean the filters. We watch the draining water change from black to clear this shows the filter is clean. Then, the internal housing of the electric air cleaner is cleaned with Windex. Compressed air is used to blow off any excess moisture. All parts are then returned with “arrows” facing in the direction of the furnace.
It is very important not to use corrosive cleaners because there is a coating on the metal that you do not want to damage. Also, you must be careful of the very small piano-type wires. There should be “handles” on the outside of the main filter that make it easy to transport.
Du-More Home Solutions offers cleaning or installation or replacement parts as part of our service.
It is highly recommended the electric air cleaners be cleaned at least once a month for best performance.
