Introduction 🌬️🏡
Air filters are an essential component of your HVAC system, as they help maintain indoor air quality and system efficiency. Choosing the right air filter can be a bit confusing with so many options available. At ANG Heating and Air Conditioning, we’re here to simplify the process and help you select the perfect air filter for your home and HVAC needs.
Key Factors to Consider
- Filter Efficiency (MERV Rating) 🌡️
Air filters are rated using the Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) scale, which measures their ability to trap particles. Filters with higher MERV ratings are more efficient in capturing smaller particles but may restrict airflow if not compatible with your system. ANG Heating and Air Conditioning recommends consulting your HVAC system manual or our experts to find the ideal MERV rating for your setup.
- Type of Air Filter ⚙️
There are various types of air filters to choose from, including:- Fiberglass Filters: Affordable and suitable for basic filtration needs.
- Pleated Filters: Offer higher efficiency and durability.
- HEPA Filters: Designed for maximum air purification, removing up to 99.97% of particles.
- Washable Filters: Reusable and eco-friendly options.ANG Heating and Air Conditioning can help you understand the pros and cons of each type and recommend the best one for your home.
