HRV / ERV Filters
Clean or Replace Air Filters. Dirty or clogged filters can lower ventilation efficiency. Try to clean your filters at least every two months. Filters in most new HRVs can be easily removed, cleaned with a vacuum cleaner, then washed with mild soap and water before being replaced. Older units have replaceable filters. If your HRV is easily accessible, this is a five-minute job.
| MERV | Minimum particle size | Typical controlled contaminant [1] | Typical application [1] |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–4 | > 10.0 μm | Pollen, dust mites, cockroach debris, sanding dust, spray paint dust, textile fibers, carpet fibers | Residential window A-C units |
| 5–8[1] | 10.0–3.0 μm ("E3") | Mold spores, dust mite debris, cat and dog dander, hair spray, fabric protector, dusting aids, pudding mix | Better residential, general commercial, industrial workspaces |
| 9–12 | 3.0–1.0 μm ("E2") | Legionella, humidifier dust, lead dust, milled flour, auto emission particulates, nebulizer droplets | Superior residential, better commercial, hospital laboratories |
| 13–16 | 1.0–0.3 μm ("E1") | Bacteria, droplet nuclei (sneeze), cooking oil, most smoke and insecticide dust, most face powder, most paint pigments | Hospital and general surgery |
Furnace Filters” the most important filtration for you HVAC”
Upgrade to a 5 in Filter: this is Why?
HEPA Filters
Carbon Filters
UV lights
MERV Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value: MERV is the effectinveness of air filters.
The higher the rating the higher the filtration.
Calgary Home Comforts recommends to only USE manufacturer recommended filters.
Many filters in the marked are too restrictive causing premature failures of motors and heating components on your furnace, as well freeze up in your air conditioners
