Clean filters stop harmful dust from gathering inside. Filters protect the HVAC from damage.
Clean filters ensure proper airflow. This prevents the system's parts from overheating.
Our 10x30x2 pleated air filters are at least 20 times more efficient than standard fiberglass filters at capturing dust, allergens, and bacteria.
These filters feature a strong beverage board frame that can handle humidity and temperatures up to 200° F. No warping or weakening here under high temperatures.
And for the real filtration magic, we use a special synthetic electrostatic media. This advanced material is significantly more efficient at capturing particles compared to basic cotton media used in other filters.
Air filters need to be the exact size to fit properly in your HVAC. An incorrect size can reduce efficiency and damage the system.
The correct size is printed on the side of the old filter or listed in your AC unit's manual. Measure the length, width and depth of the current filter for accuracy.
A MERV 11 filter is fine for residential use. It provides a good balance of air quality without restricting airflow too much.
