Breath of Fresh Air
Discover the Power of Media Cabinet Filters
We believe the air filter is the most important part of your heating and cooling system. Our professional recommendation is to switch from a traditional 1-inch filter to a media cabinet with a Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) of 11 or greater. The MERV rating measures the effectiveness of air filters in trapping airborne particles. The appropriate MERV rating for a filter is determined by the unique requirements of your system and home.
Benefits of Updating Your Air Filtration
There are several reasons that support the superiority of a media cabinet filter over a standard 1-inch filter for you and your family. Our top 3 reasons why you should choose a media cabinet filter over a 1-inch filter are:
-
Improved Air Quality
Media cabinet filters provide a surface area up to 10 times greater than standard 1-inch filters. This expanded surface area allows for more efficient capture of harmful particles, such as pollen, bacteria, pet dander, dust, and mold; ensuring a cleaner and safer home environment for your family.
-
Optimize Equipment Performance and Enhance Reliability
A conventional 1-inch filter with comparable MERV ratings has a tightly woven structure that restricts adequate airflow to your system. Modern furnaces come equipped with constant torque or variable-speed blowers, which are prone to mechanical issues when not receiving sufficient airflow. Our media cabinet filters ensure optimal airflow to your blower, promoting stress-free operation and prolonging the life of the system and its components.
-
Energy Savings
Thin, flimsy air filters are prone to quick clogging, restricting airflow, and increasing energy consumption. Traditional 1-inch filters are less than 75% efficient and require replacement 4-12 times per year. Our media cabinet filters provide up to a year of protection with proper airflow, and are more than 90% efficient, reducing energy usage.
