Whole House Air Cleaners mount between a furnace and the return air duct to capture airborne particles such as dust, pollen, bacteria, dander, spores, etc. Their performance is measured in terms of efficiency at trapping micron-sized particles. Removing a higher percentage of contaminants from the air may reduce the incidence of associated illnesses and allergy and asthma symptoms.

 Media air filters are the basic models, capable of capturing particles down to 1.0 micron size. Includes Honeywell F100 series: 16" x 20", 16" x 25", 20" x 20", 20" x 25".
 Electrostatic media filters are even more effective. They use electrostatically charged fibers to capture smaller particles. Includes Honeywell F200 series: 16" x 20", 16" x 25", 20" x 20", 20" x 25".
 Electronic filters use the same principle as electrostatic ones, except that they use a mesh of thin wires to produce a constant electrostatic field. They are capable of capturing the smallest particles, but also need to be connected to a power outlet. Includes Honeywell F300 series: 16" x 20", 16" x 25", 20" x 20", 20" x 25".
 UV systems use ultraviolet light to destroy airborne bacteria. This is similar to sterilization procedures used in hospitals. Includes Honeywell UV100 series: UV100E1043, UV100E2009.
