MERV 8 Air Filters

MERV 8 air filters are a type of air filtration product categorized by their Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) rating
The MERV rating system, developed by the ASHRAE, measures the effectiveness of air filters at capturing particles of varying sizes.
MERV 8 air filters offer a significant upgrade from basic filters and are capable of handling the common air quality needs of residential and commercial settings. They are a practical choice for routine air filtration use, offering a good balance of air filtration efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Features of MERV 8 Air Filters:

· Filtration efficiency: efficient at capturing particles between 3.0 and 10 microns in size, including dust mites, mold spores, hair spray, and dust
· Maintains good airflow in the system and provider better filtration
· Cost-Effectiveness: more affordable than higher-rated filters
· provide a noticeable improvement in air quality by reducing the number of allergens circulating in the air
·

MERV 8 Air Filters Applications:

· Home HVAC Systems: Ideal for residential buildings, particularly in areas with moderate levels of outdoor pollutants.
· Commercial Buildings: Suitable for standard commercial environments like offices and retail spaces in demand of a balance between efficient filtration and airflow.
· Industrial Workspaces: Certain industrial settings with controlled environments, where higher efficiency filters are not required

Eventhough MERV8 filters are effective capturing common airborne pollutants, they are not as efficient at retaining smaller particulates like smoke, smog, or microorganisms. In applications where higher air filtration grade is needed, such as medical center, hospitals and other healthcare facilities, MERV13 or above rated air filters are more appropriate.
