MERV 5 fiberglass non-pleated air filters are designed to capture contaminants in the air stream, improving indoor air quality and preventing damage to HVAC systems. These flat air filters are commonly used to capture large particles between 3 and 10 microns in size, such as mold spores and cement dust. A filter's MERV rating measures how efficiently it removes contaminants from the air stream based on the size of the particles it can effectively capture. The higher the MERV rating, the more effectively the filter traps small particles.
An Aerostar oven air filter helps keep your HVAC unit running efficiently by removing dirt and reducing strain on the engine. MERV 5 fiberglass non-pleated air filters provide up to 20% efficiency for filtering particles between 3 and 10 microns in size, such as mold spores, dust mites, and cement dust. They capture contaminants more efficiently than MERV 4 pleatless air filters. When creating a filter with this tool, it is important to use the “actual” filter size, that is, the size shown by the tape measure, not a nominal filter size. If you have pets, children, or allergy sufferers in your home or business, it is recommended to replace filters more often to maintain superior indoor air quality and keep energy costs low.
In conclusion, MERV 5 fiberglass non-pleated air filters are an effective way to improve indoor air quality and protect HVAC systems from damage. They are designed to capture large particles between 3 and 10 microns in size, such as mold spores and cement dust. The higher the MERV rating of a filter, the more effectively it traps small particles. It is important to use the “actual” filter size when creating a filter with this tool, not a nominal filter size.
Additionally, if you have pets, children, or allergy sufferers in your home or business, it is recommended to replace filters more often to maintain superior indoor air quality and keep energy costs low.
