Air Quality Essentials

Regularly changing HVAC filters is crucial to prevent dust, mold, and airflow issues that can damage your system. While higher quality filters like MERV 13 and MERV 14 can improve air quality, they may also restrict airflow if not from a reputable brand. Portable air purifiers are recommended for areas where you spend the most time, as HVAC filters alone won't eliminate volatile organic compounds or viruses. Opening windows might not be effective in improving indoor air quality due to outdoor pollutants.
