- zbrozek 5y agoWhole-house air filtering costs me around 100-200 watts depending on filter state. It runs continuously roughly from the end of June to mid-November (particulates season).
- dredmorbius 5y agoMy comment was more on the likely future of air quality and the past five years' history on the west coast, and implications for future HVAC systems design. Yes, the energy loads are fairly minimal. Though you'll have a blower, and either replaceable filters or electrostatic filters (themselves requiring an additional power draw).
