Upgrade HVAC System’s Air Filter and Help Atlanta Allergies
September 21, 2015

For allergy sufferers who struggle with fall allergies, this can be a truly challenging time of year. With nature’s last gasp comes some very potent allergens, and you can spend your warm fall days in an allergy-induced haze. But you have a powerful tool at your disposal if you have a centralized HVAC system: the air filter. While the air filter that comes standard with your HVAC system isn’t going to help a great deal with indoor air quality and allergen removal, an upgraded air filter can. Not sure which air filter will be best? That’s where the experts at Comfort Zone HVAC come in. We can help you choose and install an air filter that can greatly relieve many of your allergy symptoms.

It’s All About MERV

MERV stands for Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value and is the industry standard for measuring the effectiveness of filters. The scale for MERV ranges from 1 to 20; the higher the MERV rating, the more particles the filter removes. Effective home filters have MERV ratings in the range of 5-12; filters with MERV ratings of 13+ are made for properties like hospitals, and can seriously constrict the flow of air in your air conditioning system, so they are not usually installed in residential properties.

Specific to allergies, filters in the 9-12 MERV range are highly effective. These filters capture particles as small as 0.3 microns, and with the allergen particles typically ranging from 0.3-0.7 microns, you can rest assured that many allergen particles will be successfully removed from your home’s indoor air.
