Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between Merv 8, Merv 11 and Merv 13?
MERV, or Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value, measures how well an air filter captures particles. Higher MERV ratings mean better filtration.
MERV 8: Captures pollen, dust mites, molds, and dust. Good for basic filtration needs.
MERV 11: Captures pollen, dust mites, molds, dust, auto exhaust particulates, pet dander, and allergens. Ideal for better air quality and allergy control.
MERV 13: Captures pollen, dust mites, molds, dust, auto exhaust particulates, pet dander, allergens, smoke, bacteria, and viruses. Best for superior air quality and advanced filtration.
Choose based on your specific needs for air quality and allergen control.
How often should I replace my air filters?
You should try to regularly maintain good air quality and keep your HVAC system running smoothly.
Typically, it's recommended to replace your air filter every 1 to 3 months, depending on factors like the type of filter you use, your home's air quality, and how often you use your heating or cooling system. If you have pets or allergies, you may need to change it more frequently. Regularly replacing your air filter helps ensure proper airflow, reduces strain on your system and improves energy efficiency.
Are these filters compatible with my HVAC system?
Our filters are designed to be compatible with most standard HVAC systems. To ensure the perfect fit for your specific system, we recommend checking the size and type of filter required by your HVAC unit, which is usually indicated in the system's manual or on the side of your current filter.
If you’re unable to locate the correct size or if your system requires a custom filter, we offer custom filter options.
Do these filters help with allergies?
Yes, our filters can help with allergies and asthma by capturing airborne allergens. For enhanced relief:
MERV 11: Captures pollen, dust mites, mold spores, pet dander, and allergens. Ideal for general allergy control.
MERV 13: Offers higher filtration, capturing pollen, dust mites, mold spores, pet dander, allergens, smoke, bacteria, and viruses. Best for superior air quality and more comprehensive allergy and asthma relief.
We recommend the MERV 13 filter for the best overall performance and maximum protection.
