Air Purifier

Seems to be plenty to choose from. Any of you running one in your house and if so what brand and how do you like it? Obviously we don’t open our windows much in the winter so the dust can add up. Also just Elelectric heat so no filter system there.

I’ll have to look at ours. Something from Amazon. Wife was having some allergy issues so we got one. Seemed to clear things up.

Even on electric heat you should be able to install filters at the intake.

No intake. They are the old baseboards (unless you know something I don’t)

Had this one for at least a year, seems to pick up a lot of pet dander and dust. The filter lights comes on about once a month, remove all 4 and clean with water or air compressor. I’d say it works great with 2 people, 2 cats, 1 dog and a bird in a 2000 sqft house. Ordered off an infomercial:

There is a duck club in Knobel, Arkansas. It has an elecric furnace that is fan forced with an air filter on it.
There is such a thing. It's expensive and makes noise.
We had base board heat in a rental we rented long enough to get a bill we could not afford.
Been saving this comment for a special occasion.
"I'd just move to somewhere with gas lines".
You should probably "just move". :lol:
Baseboard heat...you're killin me. :lol:
Well.i err uhh...
This thing keeps me alive during duck season.
Two dogs...plenty of dust here.

Get a nice filter and duct tape it to a box fan and you are using space age filtration.
Space space space space.. .

Seriously though my wife the maintenance tech 4 buys the filters.
I think she pays high dollar for the hepa grade ones.

Ok now do you like to open the curtains and let the light pour in? Study the air quality then.
Floaties an shit in the air?
A hepa grade filter makes that be gone.
Less dust but it don't get every single thing obviously yet you can see a difference.
That's true.

Interesting. Never seen a setup like that before. I was thinking electric but still having a central unit

I've had that exact thing.

My college chemistry professor had them in his house too.
It's a cheap way to get heat installed but running them is expensive. There is no fan the heat rises and circulates the air like a chimney.
Think like old school steam heat with radiators.
They're electric radiators.

Ceiling fans help spread the heat! In the winter I think our electric bill is a little over $200. We have two water heaters, two refrigerators, ceiling fans in every room, kids that leave the lights on… In the summertime it is much less unless we use our air conditioner but that’s not often.

You don't live in a blue as hell university town with 50,000 renters that come n go quickly...and the taxes.
Wondered how the hell it's even possible to have that in North Dakota.
You rate must be low like they give industry here.
Our residential rate is around $0.13/ kw*hr.

Yep I choose to live here and honestly everybody has a choice on where they live no matter how much they deny it. It’s never too late to pick up and move somewhere else. Plenty of old-timers here that have done that with no regrets. Fear is what stops most people from being happy!

I'll move one day and probably end up in a pretty shacky spot. It'll be fine but was just kidding.
