📊 The Truth About MERV Ratings

MERV ratings measure how well an air filter traps airborne particles. Higher isn’t always better—MERV 8 works for basic dust, while MERV 11–13 targets allergens, smoke, and bacteria. Choosing the right MERV is about balancing efficiency, airflow, and your home’s needs.

🛠️ How Often Should You Change Your Furnace Filter?

Most furnace filters should be changed every 30 to 90 days, depending on your filter type, home size, pets, and allergy sensitivity. A clogged filter reduces airflow, hikes up energy bills, and lowers indoor air quality. Set a reminder—you’ll breathe (and save) better.
