FAQ
Filters are devices that remove impurities from the air. They help improve indoor air quality by trapping dust, pollen, and other particles. When choosing air filters, consider the size of your space and specific needs like allergen reduction or odor control.
Filters are selected based on size, type, and efficiency. Measure your existing filter to ensure a proper fit. Consider MERV ratings to determine efficiency; higher ratings capture smaller particles but may restrict airflow.
Filters with high MERV ratings or HEPA filters are effective for allergies. They trap tiny particles like pollen and pet dander, providing relief for allergy sufferers. Ensure compatibility with your HVAC system before purchasing.
Filters become clogged over time, reducing efficiency and airflow. Regular replacement ensures optimal performance and prolongs HVAC system life. Check manufacturer guidelines for recommended intervals, typically every 1-3 months.
Filters vary; some are washable while others are disposable. Washable filters can be cleaned with water and reused, offering a cost-effective solution. However, disposable filters should be replaced as per manufacturer instructions.
Filters' effectiveness depends on type and rating rather than price. Higher-priced options often offer advanced features like odor control or enhanced allergen capture. Evaluate your needs against features to find the best value.
Filters: 3 things to consider before buying
When buying filters, it's crucial to know the specific size and type you need for your air treatment system. Check the dimensions, usually in ″, to ensure a perfect fit. Additionally, identify whether you require HEPA, carbon, or washable filters based on your needs. For example, HEPA filters are excellent for capturing tiny particles like pollen and dust mites, making them ideal for allergy sufferers.
The Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) rating indicates a filter's ability to capture particles of different sizes. A higher MERV rating means better filtration but can also restrict airflow if not compatible with your system. For most home environments, a MERV rating between 8 and 13 offers a good balance of air quality improvement without compromising airflow.
Before purchasing filters, confirm their compatibility with your air treatment system. Some systems have specific requirements or limitations regarding the type and efficiency of filters they can accommodate. Consult your system's manual or contact the manufacturer to ensure that the filters you choose will work effectively without causing damage or reducing efficiency.
