About Air Filtration and Filter Upgrades
The right filter keeps your equipment healthy and your air cleaner
Filters protect your equipment and clean the air that passes through them. Higher ratings catch smaller particles, but a filter that is too restrictive for your system can choke airflow, so the best choice depends on your equipment.
We explain MERV ratings in plain English and recommend standard filters, thicker media filters or a whole-home media cabinet that suits your system and your needs.

- Media filter cabinets with long-lasting filters

How It Works
What Goes Into Air Filtration and Filter Upgrades
Four parts of the job, each explained so you know what to expect.
Higher is not always better
MERV in Plain English
MERV measures how much a filter captures. Very high ratings can restrict airflow on systems not designed for them.

Questions About Air Filtration and Filter Upgrades
Still have a question?
What MERV rating do I need?
Many homes do well with MERV 8 to 11, and some with 13 if the system is designed for it. We check airflow and recommend the best fit.
How often should I change my filter?
Thin filters often need changing every month or two, while deep media filters can last several months. Pets and dust shorten the interval.
Can a better filter hurt my system?
A very restrictive filter can choke airflow on some systems, which is why we check your equipment first.
