Choosing the best air filter for your HVAC system from a wide variety of air filters can be daunting.
Filters remove pollutants from the air, improving indoor air quality. They also capture and protect you from pollen, dust, bacteria, and other allergens. However, filters often clog and get dirty over time. When they do, you need to replace them. To know when to replace the filters, you need to inspect your HVAC system’s air filters monthly and replace them after three months. But first, you have to purchase a new filter for replacement. When finding a good air filter for your HVAC system, you need to consider various factors. For example, determine whether to use reusable or disposable air filters. A reusable air filter is costly but lasts longer and becomes cost-efficient with time since they are washable. However, they need to be washed and dried every month. These reusable filters cannot trap some particles. Therefore, if you suffer from allergies, it is best to use disposable ones. You can also choose between pleated and non-pleated filters. Non-pleated filters are cheaper as they can only capture large particles, while pleated filters can trap large and small particles. You should also consider the filter size when looking for air filters. The dimensions of the filter you buy should be compatible with your HVAC system’s air filters and should be the exact size. When you get the sizing right but haven’t decided what to buy for your home, you can buy the HEPA filters. These filters are effective as they block 99.9% of all particles, and they can capture VOCs, viruses, and bacterias in the air. It is ideal for people with respiratory issues such as asthma. However, your HVAC system should be compatible with HEPA filters for it to work.
