use of disposable air filter along with electrostatic air filter?
should I buy a disposable air filter to use with the 15 year old electrostatic air cleaner attached to my furnace? I think it would do a better job eliminating dust in my house.

My tenants share a furnace and CA unit. One tennant smokes and the other doesn't and has asma. The smoker agreed to smoke outside but doesn't always. I as the landlord can't really get them to stop. All I can do is continue to ask and envetually evict the smoker. They're both ok tennants. I don't want to lose either one of them; they pay on time and nothing gets torn up. This will probably come up again. Getting the system would help in the future when the issue comes up again and I think it would be a ok investment. But I don't want to waste my money, the non-smoker isn't going to renew the lease and I'm not renewing the smokers lease. The non-smoker already threaten to leave.
The house my wife and I purchased has a Triton Electronic Air Cleaner attached to the furnace. I know little about them. I was told to remove the inner unit periodically, and wash it in the dishwasher. I've done this on a six month bases.
The first couple of years, the unit would sometimes make an electrical snapping noise when dirt, etc. came in contact. The unit no longer seems to do this. Is it no longer working? The high voltage indicator lights are both on.
I live in a basement apt. and I have 3 cats. My nephew lives upstairs and he has bad cat dander allergies. We have an air purifier on the furnace but it does not really help. I am now thinking of getting one for his personal use in his bedroom. Does anyone know if this will help? I don't want to have to get rid of my cats, which is what they are asking me to do.Help.
Just bought an older house. When we turn on the whole house fan, even with lots of windows open, some air is still drawn through our vents. This causes severe alergy attacks for my wife. The previous owners never had the furnace serviced, weren't the cleanest people, and had several cats. I can only imagine how nast all of the air ducts are. I cleaned out a couple of the reurn ducts and they were nasty with dust and construction debris. I want to have the system cleaned out well. I've gotten several quotes that vary pretty greatly in cost 9-0. We have a small home with a finished basement that also has heating ducts. I want to choose a service that will do a great job, but have heard that some do a much better job than others. How do I know what to look for, or ask for in a good air duct cleaning service?

Is there a HEPA filter that can be attached to my (incoming) vent cover?
Like something for a dorm room, where the occupant has no control over the furnace. Something that fits either just inside the vent cover or on the outside of it, that filters both dust and allergens, because I want something that will supplement the air purifier so it doesn't blow through filters so fast, and also because I'm very allergy sensitive.
My furnace has been short cycling. As a remedy it was brought to my attention to check my air conditioning coil. Upon looking at the coil there is no real way to remove it. The coil lays at approximately a 45 degree angle. At the top there is approximately a 1 inch gap, between coil and side. I was able to reach a few fingers in and found I couldn't even feel the coil. It was covered with dust and who knows what else. It was suggested to me to use Evap Powr Coil Cleaner. This is an interior no rinse application. Will this work? How often should one clean the coil?

My furnace has a Honeywell electrostatic air cleaner (black magic air cleaner, witchcraft air cleaner? It doesn't seem to do anything). I am pretty sure that this thing is not effective at all. My question is; is there any way that I can remove and replace this with a standard pleated air cleaner by myself (without the aid of a 00 dollar an hour HVAC contractor)? Is there pre made filter boxes available that aren't real expensive? I am mechanically inclined too, just not hugely knowledable in the HVAC department.

the light doesnt turn on, when the furnace is running. is there a way to check if the cells are broken. could that be why the light doesnt turn? just bought the house.
My son has allergies and the doc is reconmending an air purifier.Do they work, would you reconmend getting one? Not sure what I am looking for when it comes to features on them and don't know what brands are good. Also I have heard about people installing some sort of purifier on their furnace. How much does this cost and does it work? Looking for any thoughts or advise. thanks
What are the best reasonably priced HEPA air filters out there? Is it best to get one that attached to a furnace (but then its only running when the heat or AC is on) or a few smaller ones and move them room to room?
Also, I understand that it is imprtant to try and vacuum with a HEPA vacuum. Any advice on something out there that is reasonably priced (and reasonably priced filters).
For both, I want to get something that is not too cheap (ie something that actually works) but not top of the line (I am not running a hospital.. just want to increase the quality of the air we breathe at home.
How well do you like it? Does it seem to work for you? I have one, but it does not seem to do a really good job helping my hayfever. I wonder if I need a bigger one or a different type of air purifier.
I have an Oreck 2000. A filter on the furnace would not be practical, since it would only run during cold weather and I need it to go when the weather is warm. We do not have central air.

The furnace and air cleaner say General Electric. But there is also a piece that says Honeywell? There was a disposable 16x20 filter inside next to the heavy metal filter.
