CHOOSING THE RIGHT FILTER
|
Choosing The Right Filter For My Hvac System
Choosing the right filter for your heating and air-conditioning system San Antonio is a very important maintenance task. First I would like to familiarize you with the function of air filters and your air conditioning system. All residential and commercial HVAC systems have a filter that helps remove contaminants such as: dust mites, dirt and particulates, allergens, and more. This filter is usually placed before the air handler or furnace in your home. The reason for this placement is to catch all particulates and contaminants before they enter the actual HVAC equipment and continuing out the supply ducts into your livable space.There are many types of air filtration media that can be used to filter your homes indoor air San Antonio.
Types of Air Filtration Media
The type of air filtration media that is used to filter your homes indoor air is very important. Most standard air filters go by a rating called Merv. What Is A MERV Rating? Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) is an industry standard that measures the overall effectiveness of air filters. As the MERV rating increases the finer the filtration becomes. With finer filtration, fewer airborne contaminates & dust particles are allowed to pass through the filter. The most common "Airborne Contaminates" that these filters are tested against tend to include pollen, dust mites, mold spores, dust, pet dander, bacteria and tobacco smoke. There are many types of air filtration media and systems that can be used for the purpose of removing airborne contaminants. Some of these systems and media include: electrostatic filters, pleated filters, poly disposable or fiberglass filters, to name a few. Here AAA Duct cleaning we recommend pleated filters with a MERV Rating of 6 or higher.

The benefits of using proper air filtration media and regular air conditioning filter maintenance San Antonio will result in better HVAC system operation and efficiency. In addition, your indoor air quality will improve greatly with the reduction of contaminants such as: dust mites, pollen, allergens, pet dander, and dust.
