Furnace filter advice please

QUESTION:

As some of you may know from my previous post, our electronic air cleaner died.......and we must make some sort of replacement......What's the consensus on the Space Guard Furnace Filter (change the filter once per year)? Or, should we spend the additional $150-$200 and have another electronic installed?

ANSWER:

My vote would go to the SpaceGard. When I worked for a residential HVAC contractor we installed many more SpaceGards than electronics. Never had a complaint on the SpaceGards ... except for the replacement filter cost. On the other hand, the electronics would "generate" service calls because the owners weren't sure if they were working or not. I also find it attractive to avoid using electricity when I can.
