Specifications
The original and main purpose of an air filter
is to keep your equipment clean. A simple fiberglass or polyester
panel filter will do that job well enough. U.S. Home Filter
provides polyester panel filters without metal backing instead of
fiberglass panel filters offered by retailers. We provide polyester
because it is considered enviromentally more friendly, is more efficient,
holds more dirt and won't cause skin irritation. Additionally the
binders used in fiberglass production have a possible link to the
promotion of bacterial growth. Our filters have no metal backing
which can give you a nasty cut on installation.

Price range per filter for standard sizes: $1.55 to $2.70.

way of controlling the most annoying visible atmospheric dust particles.

Filtration Effectiveness If you are at this level of filtration, look at our filter
selection chart. Beware that the effectiveness of your air filter is
also determined by many other factors. Does the circulating fan run constantly?
How often are doors and windows opened? How tight is the construction of
the house? What is the quality of the ducting system? Do you live near
a dusty field, road, or a high-traffic area?

What is a MERV rating?
Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value, or MERV for
short, is a filter rating system devised by the American Society
of Heating, Refrigeration and Air conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE)
to standardize and simplify filter efficiency ratings for the public.
The higher the MERV rating, the higher the efficiency of the air
filter. Simply stated, a MERV 12 filter will remove smaller particles
from the air than a MERV 8 filter.
For the consumer this means that you now have
the ability to effectively compare one brand to another. Without
any value-added additions, any MERV 12 filter will perform about
the same as any other MERV 12 filter. The MERV rating only applies
to efficiency. Additions such as Lysol anti-bacterial treatment
and Arm & Hammer baking soda are value-added benefits and are
not an expression of the MERV rating system.
If allergies or asthma are your concern,
we suggest you choose a MERV 8 filter at a minimum.
