Today is my first time changing my electronic air cleaner filter since it was installed.
My HVAC Dad installed my MicroPower Guard Electronic Air Cleaner about two and a half months ago.
Now that it is time to change the filter…I’m a little intimidated.
There are a lot of wires and electronic-looking things I don’t want to mess up. So, I call my Dad and ask for help. He walks me through all the steps to successfully change my electronic air cleaner filter without damaging my HVAC unit.
- It is important to properly shut off power to the system before you change the air filter. Shut off power to the furnace at the switch located near your furnace.
2. Unplug the cord from the top of the MicroPower Guard and slide out the metal frame.
3. Carefully remove the media from the frame. The dust will easily fall off if you shake it so have a trash bag nearby. Also pay attention to the direction the media was inserted.
4. Insert the clean filter with the large black carbon portion coming into contact with the silver electrode attached to the frame.
5. Snap the frame shut and slide back into the filter slot.
6. Plug in the MicroPower Guard.
7. Turn the furnace switch back to the on position.
