What is the best air cleaner to buy?
The best air cleaner depends on your application. For residential whole-home use, the Dynamo 1" EAC offers the highest performance with MERV 12, lifetime electronics warranty, and the lowest pressure drop in its class. For commercial or hospital settings, the M-Series 2" Hybrid EAC delivers ASHRAE 170-compliant MERV 14A or 16A filtration with a documented 54% reduction in fan energy.
What MERV ratings are available across ECOairflow's product line?
ECOairflow offers MERV 11 (Model 1000), MERV 12 (Model 1500 and Dynamo 1"), MERV 14 (Dynamo 2" Model 2300), and MERV 13–16A (M-Series Hybrid). All ratings are independently tested per ASHRAE 52.2, with the M-Series also Appendix J certified for consistent in-situ performance throughout the filter's entire lifecycle.
Are ECOairflow air cleaners safe to use in occupied spaces?
Yes. All ECOairflow electronic air cleaners are certified to UL 2998 Zero Ozone standards by Intertek ETL, emitting below 0.0005 ppm ozone — well below regulatory thresholds set by the FDA, EPA, NIOSH, CARB, and OSHA. They are recommended by the US CDC and EPA and are safe for homes, hospitals, schools, and offices.
How do ECOairflow air cleaners compare to HEPA filters?
Independent lab testing shows ECOairflow's EPT technology captures 74.73% of PM0.1 ultra-fine particles compared to HEPA's 49.19% — making it 50% more effective at the sub-micron particle sizes associated with viruses, wildfire smoke, and automotive pollution. ECOairflow filters also operate at dramatically lower pressure drops, reducing fan energy costs.
What is Electronic Polarization Technology (EPT) and how does it work?
EPT creates a polarized electromagnetic field across a glass-fiber mesh pad. Each fiber acts as a magnet, attracting and trapping airborne particles by electromagnetic attraction rather than mechanical blocking. This allows ECOairflow filters to capture particles as small as 0.001 microns while maintaining a near-constant, ultra-low pressure drop throughout the pad's entire service life.
How often do ECOairflow filter pads need to be replaced?
Residential units (Model 1000, 1500, Dynamo 1") recommend pad replacement every 3 months. Commercial units (Model 2300, M-Series) typically require replacement every 3–6 months depending on facility load. ECOairflow offers an email pad-reminder subscription service at ecoairflow.com/email-reminders. The permanent aluminum or metal frame is a one-time purchase — only the pad is replaced.
Are ECOairflow products available for wholesale or bulk procurement?
Yes. ECOairflow supplies wholesale and bulk orders for HVAC contractors, commercial facility managers, hospital procurement teams, school districts, and government facilities across the USA and Canada. Pricing is available on request by contacting sales@ecoairflow.com or calling 1-877-347-3569. Submittal sheets, LEED documentation, and ASHRAE compliance docs are provided for specifying engineers.
