Do you ever just wonder how at some places the air from the air conditioner is very fresh while at your home, you don’t feel very comfortable? That’s probably because of the air filter. The better the air filter will be, the fresher and cleaner your indoor air is going to be.
Here are some useful tips for you to consider when buying a new air filter for your air system:
Checking for the CADR
The Clean Air Delivery Rate [CADR] is a measure of just how clean the air is and how quickly it is getting processed through an air filter. Check for this rating and ask for the one with the best CADR score and Cubic Flow per Minute [CFM].
Checking for the MERV rating
The second measure used to measure an air filter’s effectiveness is the Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value [MERV] rating. This is a scale from 1 to 16 and each air filter is rated on the ability to score smaller particles in the air. The higher the number, the cleaner your indoor air will be.
There are lots of HVAC experts in the area that can inform you about an air filter’s efficiency. Read product reviews otherwise; they can help!
