It is important to change your air filter regularly to maintain quality air flow and efficient filtration. It is hard to imagine that your air filter performs an integral role in the cleanliness and health of your home and its inhabitants, but it does. If your filter becomes clogged, it not only slows the air flow to your HVAC system, but also stops collecting the harmful particles that are inevitably present within your living environment. In the past, the purpose of a filter was to keep the coils and heat exchanges on the heating and air conditioning system clean. However, the enhancements of filters have allowed them to perform a more vital role in your homes indoor air quality. Right now, your home could be infested with: Dust Dust mites Pet dander Mold spores Pollen Bacteria and viruses Smoke Insect allergens If your filter is not performing properly, or if you are not using an efficient filter, then it can be quite difficult to rid your home of these harmful airborne particles. The construction of Ultravation® whole house media filters allows them to capture these contaminants as they pass through the filter media. These filters are so efficient that they have the ability to capture particles as small as 0.3 of a micron! To determine the efficiency of a filter, they are given a MERV rating. MERV stands for minimum efficiency reporting value. Basically, a higher MERV rating indicates better filter performance. Ultravation® filters can be purchased with MERV ratings of 8, 11 or 13. Perhaps you are concerned with the odors within your home. Instead of just masking these unwanted odors with candles, oils or sprays, Ultravation® Carbon Odor block filters can actually remove these odors from the air. The heat activated carbon acts as a magnet and sponge to these odors by attracting them to its tiny pores and trapping them, leaving your home smelling fresh and clean. A few unwanted odors that may be lingering in your home are: Cooking odors Bathroom smells Pet odors New paint Cigarette smoke odors Another impressive feature of this line of filters is they are sold with pre-applied gasketing. The gasketing prevents air by-pass by fitting properly in your return and forcing the air that is funneled to your HVAC unit to pass through the filter media. This makes the filter 98% efficient in filtering out unwanted particles or gaseous odors. Ultravation® whole house media filters can be purchased in many different sizes and can be installed in virtually any HVAC system without modifications with no assembly required!
