A high-efficiency air filter does more than just trap dust; it plays a critical role in creating a healthier home environment. A MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) rating indicates how well a filter can capture particles of different sizes. 

A high-MERV filter (like a MERV 13) can capture tiny particles that a standard filter would miss, such as:

• Pollen and pet dander

• Bacteria and mold spores

• Fine dust and lint

• Smoke and other microscopic irritants

The 5-inch depth of this filter rack provides a larger surface area, allowing it to capture more contaminants and last up to a year, reducing the frequency of filter changes. It’s an essential upgrade for anyone concerned about allergies, asthma, or general indoor air quality.
