In an effort to aid the consumer in determining the difference between the quality of one filter compared to another, the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) developed a rating system called the MERV Rating. MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) is a numerical value given to air filters in order to classify its filtering abilities. MERV ratings range from 1 - 20 and measurements are in microns. A human hair is about 100 microns wide. Regardless of the purpose, whether it is used as air conditioning filter or furnace filter or used in a combination HVAC system, Nordic Pure’s air filters capture airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns! Air filters MERV 12 rating represents the best balance between airborne particulate removal of dust, pollen, airborne pathogens, etc. and overall HVAC system efficiency.
Air filters MERV12 rating generally require larger, more expensive HVAC systems not normally intended for traditional homes or smaller office heating and air conditioning systems. This is due to the “drag” imposed on the HVAC system. Top-notch HVAC professionals who buy from us daily highly endorse the MERV12 rating as providing the highest efficiency of an air filter while not overtaxing the HVAC system. MERV12 requires 80% or better air filter efficiency on 1 - 3 micron particles and a greater than 90% air filter efficiency on 3 -10 micron airborne particles.
MERV 13 and higher air filters require a HVAC system larger than the ones found for traditional homes. Air filters MERV 12 ratings seem to be the best for homes because it balances the air cleaning capabilities without putting strain on the HVAC system. Nordic Pure’s MERV 12 rating, electrostatically charged, pleated design filters will extract 97.8 % airborne particles from the air.
Today's well-insulated homes often lack the ability to "breathe" freely. Trapped, stale air and excess humidity can lead to mold build-up, unpleasant odors, condensation on windows, and even structural damage to your home.
Pervasive irritants such as dust, dust mites, cigarette smoke and other pollutants commonly found in house-hold air may increase the risk of chronic respiratory illness, allergies, sinusitis, frequent headaches, coughing and asthma.
Fortunately, Nordic Pure offers effective solutions to poor indoor air quality problems – our superior electrostatically charged, pleated MERV 12 rating air filters. MERV 12 rating filters trap 97.8 % of airborne particles. Let Nordic Pure be the name you turn to for all your filter needs!
