Imagine your HVAC system as the lungs of your home, breathing in and out to keep your environment comfortable and healthy. The key to maintaining its peak performance lies in choosing the right filter. With so many options available, making your selection can feel overwhelming. Acker Heating & Cooling explains what you need to know.
One of the first steps in choosing the right HVAC filter is understanding MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) ratings. MERV ratings range from 1 to 16 for residential purposes, indicating a filter’s ability to capture airborne particles. Lower MERV ratings mean fewer pollutants are captured, while higher MERV ratings (between 7 and 12 for most homes) signify better filtration. Opting for filters with a MERV rating that balances air flow with filtration efficiency is key, especially during the months of the year when dust and pollen are at its highest.
