Measurement System and MERV Ratings: Unraveling the Essentials for Clean Air

At the heart of maintaining healthy indoor air quality lies the Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) rating system. This scale, ranging from 1 to 20, evaluates a filter's ability to capture particles of varying sizes, with 20 indicating the highest level of filtration performance.

Standard Protection (90%): MERV 8 Air Filters Designed for almost any home or business seeking reliable indoor air quality at a reasonable rate, MERV 8 filters are adept at trapping dust, pollen, and lint, making them a practical choice for basic filtration needs.

Superior Protection (95%): MERV 11 Air Filters Catering to the needs of homes or businesses with factors like pets, smokers, or allergy sufferers, MERV 11 filters excel in capturing smaller particles, including those from smoke and smog, providing a superior level of air purification.

Optimal Protection (98%): MERV 13 Air Filters Offering the best possible filtration experience, MERV 13 filters are perfect for larger homes or businesses, delivering exceptional performance in trapping even the tiniest of airborne particles, including bacteria.

Odor Eliminator (90%): MERV 8 Air Filters with Activated Carbon For homes or businesses seeking to inhibit unpleasant smells while maintaining MERV 8 quality, these filters incorporate activated carbon to effectively neutralize odors alongside their reliable 90% particle filtration capabilities.

Choosing the Correct Filter Size: Navigating Nominal vs. Actual Dimensions When selecting the right air filter, it's important to understand the distinction between nominal and actual sizes. The nominal size is a rounded measurement, typically in a larger font, while the actual size reflects the filter's precise dimensions, usually in a smaller font. Accurately measuring your existing filter is key to finding the perfect replacement.

Maintaining Healthy Air: When and Why to Change Filters To safeguard your health and ensure your HVAC system's optimal performance, we generally recommend replacing air filters every 90 days. This frequency may vary based on factors such as pet ownership, allergy concerns, and the number of occupants in your home or business.
