Measurement System and MERV Ratings: Unraveling the Essentials for Indoor Air Quality

The Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) is a crucial metric that rates the ability of air filters to trap particles, ranging from 1 to 20, with higher numbers indicating the capture of smaller microns.

Standard Protection (90%): MERV 8 Air Filters These filters are perfect for almost any home or business seeking great indoor air quality at a reasonable rate, effectively trapping 90% of airborne particles between 3 and 10 microns in size.

Superior Protection (95%): MERV 11 Air Filters Ideal for homes or businesses with factors like pets, smokers, and allergy sufferers, these filters capture 95% of particles between 1 and 3 microns, providing superior filtration.

Optimal Protection (98%): MERV 13 Air Filters Designed for larger homes or businesses, and those who desire the best possible filtration experience, MERV 13 filters trap an impressive 98% of particles between 0.3 and 1 micron.

Odor Eliminator (90%): MERV 8 Air Filters with Activated Carbon These filters not only provide standard MERV 8 quality filtration but also help inhibit unpleasant smells, making them perfect for homes or businesses seeking reliable odor control.

Navigating Sizes: Nominal vs. Actual Dimensions While the nominal size is a rounded measurement, the actual size represents the filter's precise dimensions. Knowing both is crucial when selecting the right fit for your HVAC system.

Maintaining Healthy Air: When and Why to Change Filters Replacing air filters every 90 days is generally recommended to keep your system running efficiently and ensure clean, healthy air. This timeline may vary based on factors like pet ownership, allergies, and household composition.
