Air Conditioning Filter Types

Find a HVAC Service

Fiberglass Filter

The most common and cheapest type of filter. They do not filter as fine of a particle as a more expensive filter and provide the most basic level of protection for your air conditioning unit.

Pleated Filter

More expensive than fiberglass filters but they last longer and filter more particles from the air. They can last up to 3 months because the pleating gives the filter more surface area.  You should still check them monthly however.

Electrostatic Filter

Electrostatic air filters work by creating an electrostatic charge which attracts and traps dust and debris. They are expensive filters but are usually lifetime filters. There are also disposable electrostatic air filters available.

Electric Air Filter

These are the most expensive filters and work like electrostatic filters. Instead of static energy however, hey use an electric charge to attract dirt and dust.
