Well, has anybody heard that the allergy filter for the heat pump/furnace that costs $1000 will remove most of the dust as well? I'd give up $1000 worth of dinners out if it's true.

Dust
 

So glad that the dust issue came up. We have more dust at this newly built house than all of our other homes and some were in desert locations. We replaced all of our carpeting with laminate flooring, the rest of our flooring is tile, and it did not help. Sure wish we could figure out what contractor service could fix this problem. My husband has COPD, particulate matter not good.

I had an Aprilaire filter installed in the a/c unit. It made a big difference. Without it, I sneezed 24/7. With it, I'm fine.

A/c unit? Our furnace is also our a/c unit. All electric. Can you describe what your system is?

Aside from cutting down on your sneezing, is it cutting down on the dust in your house?

Thanks, Kathie, I did. My question, though, is can the air purifier be installed on electric "furnace" as opposed to the conventional gas furnace. Guess I'll have to call. I already called about a humidifier for the electric furnace, and that's a no-go.

I have a neighbor who gives the filter mixed reviews. We have the same dust issues as everyone else has previously posted. It drives my wife crazy, but I just wear dark glasses in the house so I can't see it.

Sand traps?
 

Could the significant number of sand traps on the golf courses contribute to this problem?

A much cheaper alternative:)

If you are worried about this mystery dust , you can always have it tested.

I must be the luckiest girl in the world; no dust here on Ragsdale Loop; back in Virginia we have loads of dust, but I think that is because A. we live under a bridge, and B. our lightkeeper's house is over 100 years old.

Dust?
 

Hmm… You don't know dust until you live where we are in Arizona. You can dust the furniture on Wednesday and do it again Wednesday evening. We have electrostatic air filters on our AC/gas heaters. Just gotta keep saying…" we live in the desert". :shocked:

I am not one to purchase as seen on TV products but I did purchase Dutch Glow Amish Wood Milk at Bed, Bath, & Beyond to see if I could clean up two inherited maple end tables that had 50 years of my mother's Pledge polishing build up on them. I was shocked how this product cleaned up these tables, and now they and the rest of my wood furniture I use it on attract very little dust.
