Air Filtration: Electronic Air Cleaners in La Mesa, CA

Electronic Air Cleaners for Superior Air Filtration in La Mesa, CA

At Airight Cooling, Heating & Plumbing Inc., we know the air inside your La Mesa, CA home can hold more pollutants than the air outside. Dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, bacteria, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) often circulate indoors, trapped by today’s energy-efficient home designs. While standard air filters provide a basic level of protection, an electronic air cleaner (EAC) offers a more powerful and advanced solution for achieving clean, healthy indoor air. Integrated directly with your home’s central HVAC system, an EAC works silently to remove microscopic airborne contaminants, providing relief to allergy sufferers and greater peace of mind for your family.

How Electronic Air Cleaners Work: The Science of Electrostatic Precipitation

Unlike traditional media filters that passively trap particles, electronic air cleaners use electrostatic precipitation to actively pull contaminants from the air. This advanced process captures particles too small for most standard filters and operates through four main steps:

Air Intake

Air from your home is drawn through the return ducts of your HVAC system into the electronic air cleaner cabinet.

Particle Ionization

The air passes through a high-voltage electrical field with fine ionizing wires, charging particles like dust, pollen, and bacteria with a positive electrical charge.

Particle Collection

Charged particles flow into collector plates arranged with alternating positive and negative charges. The positively charged contaminants are magnetically attracted to the negatively charged plates, where they adhere securely.

Clean Air Distribution

Purified air, free from microscopic particles, is redistributed through your supply vents.

This cycle runs continuously and silently whenever your HVAC system fan is operating, ensuring whole-home air purification.
