It’s spring and that means allergy season. Did you know that your air filter can make the biggest difference in how clean your indoor air quality is? It’s true!
Homeowners already are encourage to change the air filter every month, especially if they suffer from allergies, have respiratory problems…or have pets. In El Paso, we should change their air filters every one simply because of our dust storms!
If the air filters aren’t changed regularly, more dust and allergens will circulate directly into your home’s living spaces, significantly decreasing the air you are breating inside.
So, which air filter should you buy? The chart featured here is a good indication of what “MERV Rating” you should consider. MERV is the Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value, a standard that rates the overall effectiveness of air filters. The scale for MERV ranges from 1 to 20. The higher MERV rating means better filtering performance and more potentially harmful contaminants removed from your indoor air.
For those who suffer from allergies, filters in the 9 to 13 MERV range are highly recommended and are more effective at keeping the air cleaner. These filters capture particles as small as 0.3 microns, and allergens are typically 0.3 to 0.7 microns, you can be sure that these impurities will be removed from your home’s indoor air.
