Maintaining Clean Air at Home or Business

To ensure clean air in your home or workplace, it is crucial to replace air filters regularly and dispose of used filters properly.

What is a MERV Rating? MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) is a measure of a filter's ability to capture larger airborne particles ranging from 0.3 to 10 microns (μm) in size.

MERV 8 Air Filters These filters are effective at trapping 90% of the airborne particles typically found in the average home.

MERV 11 Air Filters Effective at capturing 95% of airborne particles in a typical home setting.

MERV 13 Air Filters Effective at trapping 98% of airborne particles in a typical home.

Choosing the Right Filter Size Before purchasing a replacement filter, consult your owner's manual to identify the correct filter number or size. Alternatively, measure the existing filter for accurate sizing.

Proper Filter Orientation The arrow on your air filter should point towards the blower in your HVAC unit. If the filter is installed in a wall or ceiling, the arrow should point to the wall or ceiling. Note: Inserting the filter backward will cause it to collapse and potentially damage your HVAC system.
