HVAC - MERV Rating

 Fresh air outside is really nice, but what about the air quality on the inside of your home? Think about it. It's nice to have fresh air outside, but what about the fresh air on the inside? What are we doing to not only condition the space that we're in, but how do we keep it nice and safe and fresh? We changed this guy.

Now, even though there's measurements when it comes to the dimensions of a filter, but there's also another measurement that's just as vital. Azure 

dimensions, and it comes with the thickness of the filter. 

Many different stores sell different size filters, but notice something unique about these filters and how they are color coordinated.

That's because each color represents what is called me. That is the rating of each filter in the thickness and what particles it could catch. Now, in residential and multi-family, it's recommended that you go no higher. Then Merv eight. Anything below that is okay. Anything above Merv eight can damage your HVAC unit, so be very, very careful on how you purchase your filters.

Airflow to an HVAC system is very vital. Having a dirty or a clogged filter is no different than feeling like eating a biscuit and having absolutely nothing to drink. It's absolutely terrible.
