19.1 AIR FILTER

The air fi lter should be inspected frequently and cleaned or replaced as necessary. We recommend a monthly
inspection at fi rst, perhaps coinciding with the arrival of the monthly fuel bill as a reminder. The frequency may
be increased or decreased depending on experience and conditions.
Dirty fi lters result in higher than normal operating temperatures, and lower effi ciency.
Some paper media high effi ciency fi lters, sometimes identifi ed as HEPA fi lters can do an effective and
excellent fi ltration of the air; however, some models may also cause a large pressure drop across the fi lter. The
contractor should assess the capabilities of the duct system to deliver suffi cient air fl ow if this type of fi lter is
considered.
Electronic air cleaners using electrostatic precipitation to remove dust are an excellent fi ltration device when used
in conjunction with a pre-fi lter. A 16" x 25" model is an ideal fi t with this furnace in the case of a side mounted return
air inlet. The integrated furnace control is supplied with an
electrical terminal for use with electronic air cleaners.
