[Problem] To provide a method for converting an electric dust collector and an electric dust collector[Solution] In an electric dust collector (10) housing a fixed electrode type electric dust collector (28) in a casing (12), a converting method replaces the fixed electrode type electric dust collector (28) with a moving dust collecting electrode (46) and a discharge electrode (54) corresponding to the moving dust collecting electrode (46). A hopper (20) disposed at the lower end of the casing (12) and positioned facing the fixed electrode type electric dust collector (28) is removed to form a lower opening portion (64). A hoist (78) is disposed at a position facing the lower opening portion (64) of the casing (12). After removing the fixed electrode type electric dust collector (28), the moving dust collecting electrode (46) and the discharge electrode (54) are suspended by the hoist (78) and are carried in from the lower opening portion (64).
