Q. What if I no longer hear any popping or zapping noises coming from

my unit? Is it still cleaning the air?

A. If the zapping noises stop and the air cleaner is not in need of

servicing, then one of two situations has occurred. First, the Electronic

Air Cleaner has successfully removed all larger particles from the air

and is cleaning microscopic particles which do not cause the zapping

noise. Second, the blower and/or HVAC system is not running and air

is not flowing through the ductwork. The Electronic Air Cleaner cannot

remove particles if the air stream is not moving.

Q. I lost power to my home during a storm. Should I worry about the

Electronic Air Cleaner?

A. The most common problem associated with power outages is the unit

will not turn on properly after power is restored. If the Red and Green

light come on for a couple of seconds and then go off, the unit is

OK. Just turn the HVAC blower off, turn the unit ON and then turn the

blower back on. If the Red and/or Green light does NOT come on

after a storm, the power supply in the Electronic Air Cleaner may be

short circuited. Contact a local HVAC contractor for further

information.

Q. My installer told me to keep my HVAC system blower running all the

time, but I don't want to increase my power bill. What should I do?

A. It is recommended that you keep your HVAC system blower running

all the time to achieve the maximum air cleaning efficiency. This will

allow the Electronic Air Cleaner to do what it is designed to do, which

is clean the air. Remember that if the air does not reach the air cleaner,

it cannot be cleaned. On average, your Electronic Air Cleaner will use

the same amount of electricity as a 55W light bulb. The energy usage

of the HVAC system blower will depend on the age of your system ,

energy costs in your regional location and other variables. The best

solution is to try running the HVAC system blower in continuous mode

for a month or two to estimate your annual energy costs and base

your final decision on what you feel most comfortable with.
