Understanding MERV Ratings: Better Filtration for Cleaner Air
The MERV rating (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) measures how effectively an air filter removes particles from the air. The rating ranges from 1 to 16, with higher numbers indicating better filtration. For example, a filter with a MERV rating of 8 can capture dust and mold spores, while a filter with a MERV rating of 13 can capture smaller particles like bacteria and smoke. Higher MERV ratings mean cleaner air, which is better for your health and your HVAC system.
