Debunking a Common HVAC Myth
One of the most persistent myths in the HVAC industry is that expensive air filters are always better than budget-friendly options. As your local heating and cooling experts at CBM Heating & Air, LLC, we’re here to set the record straight about this common misconception.
Many homeowners believe that purchasing premium filters automatically means better air quality and system performance. However, this isn’t necessarily true. Here’s why:
Understanding Filter Ratings
The effectiveness of an air filter depends on several factors:
• MERV rating (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value)
• Your specific HVAC system requirements
• Your home’s unique air quality needs
• Proper installation and maintenance
What Really Matters
The key to effective air filtration isn’t just about price – it’s about:
1. Choosing the right MERV rating for your system
2. Regular filter replacement
3. Proper installation
4. Maintaining your HVAC system
Some budget-friendly filters can perform just as well as their expensive counterparts when properly matched to your system’s specifications. The most important factor is selecting a filter that matches your system’s requirements and changing it regularly.
