| What is a Merv rating? Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value, or MERV for short, is a filter rating system devised by the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) to standardize and simplify filter efficiency ratings for the public. The higher the MERV rating, the higher the efficiency of the filter. Simply stated, a MERV 8 filter will remove smaller particles from the air than a MERV 3 filter. |

| Replace Your Dirty A/C or Furnace Filters The filter in your A/C or furnace serves more than just one purpose. They clean the air that circulates throughout your home. They control dust particles in the air. The higher end filters can even control allergens, In fact, most homeowners overlook the fact that a higher end filter helps keep the Evaporator Coil cleaner. What they do not realize, is the dirt that the filter does not trap is now being caught by the Evaporator Coil which typically sits on top of the furnace and in turn will eventually lessen the air flow and shorten the life of both the A/C unit and the furnace. Having the Evaporator Coil removed and cleaned may cost up to $400. Maintaining a clean filter allows your components to operate at maximum efficiently. We highly recommend that you check your A/C or furnace filters monthly to ensure a clean safe haven for your family. |

| Controlling Biological Pollutants by Changing Your A/C Filters or Furnace Filters Biological contaminants include bacteria, molds, mildew, viruses, animal dander and cat saliva, house dust, mites, cockroaches, and pollen. There are many sources of these pollutants. Pollens originate from plants; viruses are transmitted by people and animals; bacteria are carried by people, animals, and soil and plant debris; and household pets are sources of saliva and animal dander. The protein in urine from rats and mice is a potent allergen. When it dries, it can become airborne. Contaminated central air handling systems can become breeding grounds for mold, mildew, and other sources of biological contaminants and can then distribute these contaminants through the home. By controlling the relative humidity level in a home, the growth of some sources of biologicals can be minimized. A relative humidity of 30-50 percent is generally recommended for homes. Standing water, water-damaged materials, or wet surfaces also serve as a breeding ground for molds, mildews, bacteria, and insects. House dust mites, the source of one of the most powerful biological allergens, grow in damp, warm environments. This can include your a/c filter and furnace filter where all air in your home is circulated through. Maintaining a clean a/c and furnace filter is important in keeping these biological contaminants out of your home or office. |
| How Is Your Indoor Air Quality Affected By Your A/C Filters or Furnace Filters? How can your air filter possibly be this terrible? Simple. If you have neglected to change it in the past 60 to 90 days, it is costing you money and could be damaging your system and your health. A dirty, clogged air filter will devour money faster than rising gas prices. Every time your air conditioner or heater kicks on, your dirty filter is causing your air handler or furnace to burn more energy. A simple thing such as not changing your filter on a regular schedule can cost you hundreds to thousands of dollars a year! Yes, it can be a hassle to find the right filter size, drive down to the hardware store, purchase a new filter for 8-15 dollars, and drive back home to install it. The trouble is that you forget and as you procrastinate your home comfort system just keeps on sucking dirt and devouring your money. Changing your filter is an irritating household chore that you must consistently do, but this 5 minute chore has a much greater affect on the condition of your family’s finances than any other chore on your to-do list. Money aside, a dirty air filter is extremely serious. So serious that the United States Environmental Protection Agency released information warning that indoor air pollution may be 2 to 5 times higher, and occasionally more than 100 times higher, than outdoor levels. As a result, the EPA has ranked poor indoor air quality as one of the top five risks to public health. Considering that many of us spend 90% of our time indoors, that is alarming news. Apart from the inherent health risks of not changing your air filters/furnace filters, there is also a monetary risk at hand. It is almost impossible to determine the exact cost of a dirty air filter because every home design and every comfort system is unique. However, you can roughly estimate the dollar value cost of dirty filters by performing a simple visual inspection of your filter and compare it to you monthly cooling bills. In today's fast paced world it's easy to overlook changing your filters. Operating your equipment with clogged filters can raise your utility bills and even make your family sick. |

| Winter Weather Means Your Furnace Is On Overdrive, Keep Your Filters Clean When cold weather hits, doors and windows are closed which means less fresh air circulating through your home or office. Stale air and dirty furnace filters can carry illnesses, dust, dander, and other pollutants. The best way to ensure your home is free of all of these hazards is to check your filters monthly and change as needed (every 4-6 weeks). Indoor Air Quality, IAQ is a very important factor to not only a household, but to businesses as well. Clean air in the office means less sick days and happy, diligent employees at work. Keep your furnace and your family healthy and happy by changing your filters regularly! |
| Tips For Improving Your Indoor Air Quality From A/C Filters 4 Less As much as half of the energy used in your home goes to heating and cooling. So making smart decisions about your home's heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system can have a big effect on your utility bills — and your comfort. Take these steps to increase the efficiency of your heating and cooling system. Check your 1" furnace filter every month, especially during heavy use months (winter and summer). If the filter looks dirty after a month, change it. At a minimum, change the filter every 2 months. A dirty filter will slow down air flow and make the system work harder to keep you warm or cool — wasting energy. A clean filter will also prevent dust and dirt from building up in the system — leading to expensive maintenance and/or early system failure. Most families are on a budget, so following these tips will help keep your bills down and maintenance to a minimum. |
| Can I Wash or Vacuum My AC Furnace Filter? Many people try to wash or vacuum their furnace filters to extend the life. Washing your furnace filter is generally a bad idea. Many filtering materials do not hold up well when wet. Washing your furnace filter significantly increases the risk for mold or microbiological growth on the filter itself (which will release those mold spores into the air that is circulating throughout your home). Also, you can never get the filter clean enough, which puts a strain on your unit and restricts your air flow so your furnace has to run a lot longer to reach the desired temperature. Vacuuming your furnace filter is a healthier alternative to washing your furnace filter, but is still not recommended. Although you may slightly prolong the life of your furnace filter, you will probably make a mess doing it, and a vacuumed filter will release a lot of dust and particles into the ductwork when you first re-install it. Additionally, most furnace filters are made from a delicate filtering material and are prone to ripping or tearing, which will render the filter useless. A/C Filters 4 Less recommends our permanent frame and disposable media filter pads. The Three Channel Extended Aluminum Design Keeps the Media Filter Pads Firmly In Place. You Only Have to Buy The Frame Once and Replace The Media Filter Pads Every 6-8 Weeks Or As Needed. The Frame and Media Filter Pads Are Custom Made To Your Exact Size. The Media Filter Pads Are The Best For Eliminating Airborne Particles and is Also One of The BEST FILTERS FOR PEOPLE WITH ALLERGIES. The Frame Has a Lifetime Warranty. Available in 1” and 2” Sizes. |
| Changing Your A/C Filters And Furnace Filters On A Regular Basis When dirty A/C filters and Furnace Filters are left in a system they begin to restrict airflow, restricted air flow means your system is going to work harder to push the same amount of air. This can cause damage to your system and also raise your utility bills. The harder your HVAC unit has to work, the more energy it eats away. Filters should really be changed out monthly, especially during the summer and winter months when the HVAC unit has a heavy workload. |
| How do I find my A/C Filters or Furnace Filter Dimensions? Every brand of filters has a different exact size. Most a/c filters and furnace filters have two sizes: Standard and Actual. If your a/c filter or furnace filter actually measures 15-½ x 19-½ x ¾ then the standard size would be 16x20x1. When determining the size of your a/c filter or furnace filter, it is best to measure your existing filter. You do not want your a/c filter or furnace filter to fit too tight, having to force it into place could damage the filter. If the filter is too small, it can get sucked up into the return and will not filter the air properly. |
| Neglecting Your AC Filters & Furnace Filters Can Cost Money! Basic home maintenance is commonly ignored by many renters and homeowners. In the long-run, these minor tasks can cost you big.

| Benefits of high MERV AC & Furnace Filters It is important for consumers to remember that not all furnace filters are designed equal. Most will opt for the cheapest filter available, but this is not always the smartest choice. This may save you money now, but over a period of time may cost much more money in repairs. AC filters and furnace filters with a high MERV rating can save thousands of dollars in the long run.

| 5 Ways to Go Green Without Spending All Your Green No one can single-handedly save the environment, but if everyone made a few changes, the results would be staggering. Going green means turning lights out when leaving a room, turning computers off when they are not in use, using Energy Star-related fixtures and compact fluorescent bulbs, using cloth grocery bags, carpooling, and telecommuting when feasible. Recycling all newspapers printed in the U.S. would save almost 300 million mature trees each year; enough wood and paper is disposed of yearly to heat one billion homes.

| Your Air Conditioner Filter Does More Than One Job Many people think that an AC or Furnace filter is used only to reduce the amount of dust in their home and think of them only in that way. Although this is a very important job, it is not the only job that an air conditioner filter performs. It has another very important function that many are not aware of. This other function is possibly more important than how much dust a filter removes from your living space. An AC filter reduces the amount of dust that collects on the evaporator coil of your air conditioning system. The evaporator is one of the four main components of an air conditioning system and is located inside of the indoor fan section. Air conditioner filters are located before the evaporator and remove dust before it reaches the evaporator. Everyone knows that any dust that passes through the filter returns to the living space and can be a problem for allergy sufferers and anyone else who is sensitive to dust and airborne pollutants. What many people don't know is that air conditioner filters serve another important purpose. They prevent the evaporator coil from becoming plugged with dust, which will restrict the air flow and reduces the efficiency of the air conditioner. The evaporator is constructed similar to a car radiator and like your car radiator; it requires a good supply of air to work properly. As time passes dust collects between the fins of the evaporator coil and can even form a layer on the surface of the evaporator fins. This happens over a period of time and can take months and even years to cause obvious problems. If your air conditioner develops a problem with ice build up and it was never a problem in the past, there are two probable causes. The evaporator coil is becoming dirty and restricting airflow, or you are not changing your air conditioner filter as often as necessary. As airflows through the evaporator becomes more and more restricted, equipment efficiency begins to decline. If this condition becomes severe it can cause equipment breakdown and lead to costly repairs. An efficient AC or Furnace filter not only cleans the air you breath it also helps to maintain your air conditioner in good working condition. The air conditioner performs at peak efficiency reduces service calls. |
