Are you looking for the best air conditioner filters for your home? Look no further than The Home Depot and Filterbuy. Both offer a wide selection of air filters, from 16x25 to 20x20, as well as free delivery and store and curbside pickup. When it comes to air filters, it's important to replace them regularly. Leaving a filter in too long can cause your heating system to work harder, while the filter itself becomes less efficient at removing contaminants and other irritants.
To keep your air conditioner running smoothly, you'll need the right parts and accessories. The most common names for an HVAC filter are air filter, oven filter, and AC filter. With so many options available, it can be difficult to know which one is right for you. For high performance and increased filtration, MERV 11 and 13 air filters are a great choice.
MERV stands for Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value, and is a rating of how much filtration your air filter is capable of doing. MERV ratings of 8 are popular for eliminating allergens, but filters rated up to 15 are also available for home use. When replacing the air cleaner, you'll need to measure the actual size of your air filter in the intake vent. If you have the old filter handy, you'll find the nominal size or dimensions on the edge of it.
For thicker oven filters, the replacement interval increases to 9 months for 3 to 4 thick filters and to 12 months for 5 thick oven filters. Installing a clean air filter in your central heating or cooling system can help remove pollutants from the air for a more comfortable experience and improved home air quality.
