Electronic Air Cleaners
An electronic air cleaner uses an electrostatic charge to capture dust, pollen, and other airborne particles as air passes through the HVAC system, offering a higher level of filtration than standard disposable filters. Electronic air cleaners install in the ductwork and typically require periodic cleaning rather than filter replacement.
Furnace Part Source carries electronic air cleaners designed as direct replacements for existing whole-home filtration systems.
Common Electronic Air Cleaner Sizes We Carry
Common cabinet sizes and airflow ratings include:
- 16x20 cabinet size for smaller ductwork configurations.
- 16x25 cabinet size for mid-size residential systems.
- 20x25 cabinet size for larger residential and light-commercial airflow needs.
How to Find the Right Electronic Air Cleaner
Before ordering, measure the existing cabinet opening or check the part number on your current electronic air cleaner. Confirm the CFM (cubic feet per minute) rating matches your system's airflow requirements.
For best fit, compare:
- Original electronic air cleaner part number
- Cabinet dimensions
- CFM airflow rating
- Shipping method, since larger units may ship by freight truck

Electronic Air Cleaner FAQs
How is an electronic air cleaner different from a standard filter?
An electronic air cleaner uses an electrostatic charge to capture particles rather than a disposable filter media, and it is typically cleaned and reused rather than replaced.
How often should an electronic air cleaner be cleaned?
Most manufacturers recommend cleaning the collector cells every one to three months, depending on usage and air quality conditions in the home.
Do electronic air cleaners ship by standard shipping?
Some electronic air cleaner units are large enough that they must ship by freight truck rather than standard parcel shipping. Check the product listing for shipping requirements.
Can an electronic air cleaner replace my existing cabinet filter system?
In many cases, yes, if the cabinet dimensions and airflow rating match your existing system. Confirm compatibility with your ductwork before ordering.
