Frequently Asked Questions
Is it OK to buy cheap air filters?
Cheap air filters are a good short-term solution, but they don't
filter out smaller particles as efficiently as higher-rated filters,
affecting indoor air quality and exacerbating allergies or
respiratory issues. It's better to invest in a quality filter that fits your
specific needs.
What is the best MERV rating on air
filters?
The best MERV rating on air filters depends on your needs. A MERV
rating of 8 to 13 is good for residential homes, providing the
optimal balance between air quality and system efficiency. Higher
MERV ratings provide better filtration but can also restrict airflow
and strain your system.
Are MERV 11 filters worth it?
Yes, MERV 11 filters are worth it, especially if you or someone in your
home has allergies or a respiratory condition. MERV 11 filters
capture smaller particles than lower-rated filters, including pet
dander and smog, improving the air quality in your home, but they
do need to be replaced more frequently, usually every 3 to 4
months.
Are higher quality air filters worth it?
Yes, higher quality air filters are worth the investment. They filter
out smaller particles and improve the air quality, which is
beneficial for those with allergies and asthma or other respiratory
conditions. Higher quality filters also last longer than cheaper
options, meaning you may not need to replace them as
frequently.
Is MERV 16 too high?
Yes, a MERV 16 filter is too high for most residential HVAC systems
and will make your system work harder than necessary. These
filters are used in hospital settings where extremely clean air is
required.
