When it comes to choosing the right HVAC filter for your home, it's important to remember that the "real" filter size should be used when creating a filter, not a nominal filter size. This means that you should measure the filter with a measuring tape to get the exact size. One of the best air filters for the home is the AAF Flanders Pre-Pleat 40 LPD air filter. This filter offers a high level of filtration to protect your air conditioning system and indoor air against particles, while also minimizing air pressure drop so that your system operates at maximum efficiency.
It has a MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) rating of 8, which means that it has been certified by third parties to effectively reduce indoor dust and particulate debris. The AAF Flanders Pre-Pleat 40 LPD air filter also has the lowest pressure drop and highest dust holding capacity in the industry. If you have pets, children, or people with allergies in your home or business, it's important to replace filters more frequently in order to maintain superior indoor air quality and reduce energy costs.
