Filters

There are many different types of filters to fit every customers needs and budgets. At Parker & Sons, we carry almost any type of filter and can help you decide which of the below is the best option for you.  Here are a few of the more basic types of filters:

Generic Filter

Generic filters are the filters that most people buy for their home. They are inexpensive, but are so for a reason. The general rule is if you can see through the filter… air, dust, bacteria, contaminents, almost anything will get through pretty easily. You can buy a filter, or be a filter…

Pleated Filter

Pleated filters catch much more than their generic counterparts and do not cost much more. A pleated filter catches far more dust, bacteria and alergens from the air and can greatly increase the life of your system, saving you money.

Washable Filter

Washable filters are exactly what they sound like. They are much higher quality filters that instead of being replaced every month, you can simply wash them out. Since it is not disposable you can buy a high quality filter that pulls a large percentage of contaminents from the air and still makes sense financially. These fitlers are excellent for homes with smoking or pet odors, as well as anyone who has allergy issues or asthma.

Electrostatic Filter

Electrostatic Filters are non-disposable filters that run a small electrical charge through them. They give maximum air flow while still removing many of the allergens, odors, dust, bacteria and viruses that can exist in your home. Electrostatic filters are excellent for families with allergy issues, asthma issues or families that find themselves getting sick often.

Hepa Filters

These are the filters used in many hospitals and schools. They are excellent at filtering out germs, bacteria, allergens and viruses from the air and are the highest quality filter money can buy. They aren’t  expensive, but can restrict airflow and needs to be change and maintained regularly.
