What is a MERV rating? That is the rating on how efficient an air filter is at catching dust, however i am an expert at MERV ratings since I suffer from certainly terrible dust irritations.
I decided that I wasn’t going to be sneezing, coughing and blowing our nose inside anymore.
I was going to do something about our air quality for once. I looked at media air cleaners that install in either the return or supply ducts, those air cleaners labor so much better, however they are certainly expensive! For example, the IQAir Perfect 16 uses HEPA filters, which are the best of the best in terms of MERV ratings. The initial cost of the program lies between 2500-3500. Then you need to factor in air filter swings with the air cleaner. The air cleaner’s filters were around 400 bucks. The air filter needs to be changed yearly! So I was looking at over multiple grand to own an air cleaner and keep it running good. The Amaircare 10,000 offers phase three air filtration which means it is a beast at cleaning. It can handle dust, smells, fumes and other gases elements. It is certainly meant for way harder stuff than I was asking for. The cost of it is around 4 grand and then the air filter is changed every three months. It is still super expensive though… Right now I have a high MERV rated air filter in our actual Heating and A/C equipment. I then get respected maintenance and maintenance on our machine. I also have a cheap, portable air cleaner that stays in our dining room at evening or the dining room during the afternoon.
