The increased surface area of pleated filters creates a greater capacity to trap and hold dust and other damaging elements in the air, such as pet dander, pollen and allergens, dust mite remains, tobacco smoke, odors, and dangerous viruses. The synthetic material significantly inhibits the growth of bacteria, mold, and fungus. These filters improve your family’s comfort and health as well as guard your heating and air conditioning system against clogging and malfunctioning, saving you the expense and bother of frequent maintenance and repairs. The MERV (minimum efficiency reporting value) number refers to an industry standard rating established by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers; the higher the number, the greater the efficiency of the filter. A MERV 8 filter will capture a minimum of 70% of all harmful particles circulating in your air. They generally last 1-2 months.
