• With so many choices available for us, its
  important to choose the right one. Lets have a
  look at some of the most used and basic types of
  air filters

• HEPA Filters
• HEPA stands for "High Efficiency Particulate
  Air. These types of filters are considered as
  the most efficient replacement air filters that
  trap 99.97 of pollutants, thus commonly used in
  hospitals and the places where the cleanest air
  is required. HEPA filters need to be replaced
  frequently, thus people consider it as an
  expensive choice. Moreover, they are good for
  cleaning the air even within small spaces.

• Charcoal Filters
• A charcoal filter is an air-cleaning device that
  is useful if you are fighting with unwanted odors
  in your home environment. As charcoal is a porous
  substance having a great capacity of trapping,
  thus when used in filters, it will eliminate
  odors from the air perfectly in minimum time.

• Hybrid Filters
• Hybrid filters are a kind of filters that are
  the combination of multiple types of air filters.
  For example, a hybrid filter involves electronic
  charge as well as a pleated fabric. It is an
  all-around good solution to clean the air.

• Pleated Filters
• Pleated filters are also called as media
  filters, most probably similar to HEPA filters,
  but are pleated or folded. It helps capture the
  large particles. When your main choice is to
  remove the dust from your indoor area, these
  filters work well.

• Pleated air filters are further divided into
  various categories based on their ratings. They
  range from MERV 1 to MERV 16 ratings. The term
  MERV stands for Minimum Efficiency Reporting
  Value which is an industry-standard rating. The
  higher the MERV ratings will, the more efficiency
  will be there for trapping the airborne
  particles. At MervFilters LLC, we stock MERV 8,
  MERV 11, and MERV 13 air filters.

• MERV 8 MERV 8 filters are mostly used for the
  household purpose that can trap small particles
  and allergens from 3 to 10 microns. They are less
  expensive and easy to service as compared to high
  rating filters.

11

• MERV 11 MERV 11 air filters are capable of
  removing 65 to 79 particles of 1.0 to 3.0
  microns as well as more than 85 percent of
  particles with 3.0 to 10.0 microns.
• MERV 13 MERV 13 rating filters are mostly used
  for commercial applications like hospitals where
  there are more pollutants, thus higher standard
  of air cleanliness is required.

• Now, the choice is yours. From 10x10x1 MERV 8 to
  25x25x1 MERV 8, 10x10x1 MERV 11 to MERV 11 filter
  16x25x1 and 25x25x1, and MERV 13 filter 10x10x1
  to 20x25x4 MERV 13 air filter, we have covered
  all.
