$200 Annually.

 The
FILTERSCAN® WiFi air filter monitor from CleanAlert LLC was
today recognized with a 2014 Best of What’s New award from the
editors of Popular Science Magazine as part of its annual
competition. The innovative monitor appears in the Home category
in Popular Science’s December issue, which can also be found
online at
https://bestofwhatsnew.popsci.com/cleanalert-filterscan-wifi.
The $99.95 wireless monitor and notification service takes the
guesswork out of the important chore of changing air filters by
sending text and e-mail alerts to your smartphone or tablet
computer. Preventing an air filter from becoming clogged keeps a
heating and cooling system performing efficiently and can help
homeowners gain up to $200 in annual energy savings. But the
FILTERSCAN WiFi is not just for the home. It can be used in
commercial buildings as well.

“The Best of What's
New Awards is Popular Science Magazine's top honor, and the 100
awardees are selected from a pool of thousands. Each winner is
handpicked and revolutionary in it's own way," said Cliff Ransom,
Editor-in-Chief of Popular Science. “Winners of Popular Science’s
Best of What’s New Award tend to change what the future will look
like. This year’s 100 honorees are no different: They are
revolutionary in their respective fields.”
Using patented technology to determine a filter’s remaining life,
the wireless monitor can determine the very point when a filter
becomes too clogged with dirt, dust, pet dander and other particles
to perform effectively, explains Terry L. Reavis, Vice President
Sales & Marketing for CleanAlert, known for its innovative
airflow-sensing solutions.
According to Reavis, most homeowners wait too long to change their
air filter, allowing pressure to build up in an HVAC system, which
increases energy costs, decreases equipment life and reduces indoor
air quality.
“Just like an automobile’s gas gauge, the FILTERSCAN takes a
scientific approach to maximizing a home’s air quality by monitoring
how much “cleaning power” remains in an air filter while in use,”
says Reavis. “Clogged filters are the primary cause of home heating
and cooling system failures that can cost thousands of dollars to
repair. Clogged filters can also strain the blower on a system,
making it operate less efficiently and increasing utility bills by
up to 15 percent.”
