Filtration
Filtration
Better filtration produces better indoor air quality
Filtration
- 1” filters - replaced every 3 months
- 2” filters - replaced at least every 6 months
- 4” filters - replaced every year
- Do you know the filter thickness?
- What is the scheduled change-out frequency?
- Who is the filter change-out contractor?
- How is the filter change-out date confirmed
- Is each HVAC unit change-out confirmed separately?
- What brand of filter is used?
- Is the filter media flat or folded?
- How many folds per inch?
- What is the filter MERV rating?
