1.Can filters be washed and reused?

Not every filter can be reused; HEPA filters and soft, pleated filters usually cannot be reused based on their design. If the material is made with something like fiberglass, it is pointless to reuse the filter, because of how it traps particles. The truth is, the more powerful air filters are usually disposable ones.

2.What is the difference between washable and disposable filters?

While washable filters can be used over and over again after a thorough cleaning, disposable filters can only be used once. Both types need to washed/replaced about once a month. Washable filters are more expensive up front, but could save you money in the long run since they do not need to be replaced as often.

3.Are reusable filters worth it?

Washable vs .Disposable air filters are more effective at trapping small particles. Washable air filters are typically only good at protecting from large particles like dust. They do not effectively filter out pet dander, bacteria, viruses or smoke, especially when they're not meticulously maintained.

4.How long do reusable filters last?

If you have electrostatic or washable filters, they should be washed, dried, and re-installed once a month. The washable filters are more eco-friendly and, if cleaned and reused appropriately, can last 5 to 10 months.

5.Why can't disposable filters be reused?

Reusable filters can be washed and replaced. However, the disposable filters you use in your HVAC system aren't made to shed water after they get wet. The moisture the filter retains can encourage mold growth over time, and your HVAC system might spread the mold spores throughout the rest of your home.
