Determining the type of air filter to install in your Georgetown , KY, home is not always easy. Hundreds of different brands, sizes, and ratings are found on the market. All homes have varying levels of air pollution that require different filters. At Titan Heating & Air, our HVAC experts know the right type to choose to maintain your home’s cleanliness. This blog discusses how to choose the right air filter for your home.
Size
The size of your air filter is the most important factor to consider. It is measured in length, width, and depth dimensions printed on the frame. A too-small filter will not capture all the dirt and dust particles. A too-large filter will not fit into the compartment and will not work as efficiently as it should.
Brand
Take the old filter that you have and look for the brand name. Look for a part number or SKU to type into a product search inventory. Without a brand name or SKU, it is difficult to locate the right filter size and quality.
MERV Rating
The minimum efficiency reporting value (MERV) rating measures the efficiency level for filtering particles from indoor air. A higher rating indicates an increase in the quantity of particles removed from a home.
New vs. Disposable
Some air filters are washable without needing to be replaced. A low MERV rating and a strong material show that a filter is washable. However, you should never guess if your filter is washable and should research the product further for more information.
