It is common sense to know that replacing your air filter is the first step in insuring your HVAC unit is running at its optimal level. The second step is choosing which filter is best for you and your environment. Air filters are ranked in a minimum efficiency rating value (MERV) system. The higher the MERV rating, the better the filter can filter out all airborne particulates. Since Nordic Pure is constantly trying to improve indoor air quality, it only makes sense that we would offer HVAC filters MERV 13.
HVAC filters MERV 13 ratings are right on the cusp of being classified as “medium efficiency MERV pleated air filters” and “high efficiency MERV pleated air filters.” Filters that have received a rating of MERV 7-13 are about as effective as true HEPA filters at controlling a majority of airborne particles. This is able to happen more effectively as the filter gets dirty. However, MERV ratings of 13-16 are able to remove and capture smaller particle sizes even before the filter starts to become dirty. With the first air exchange, MERV 13 filters have over a 75% efficiency of removing airborne particulates that are between 0.3u and 1.0u in size. When the average particle size is 1.0u to 3.0U, the filters efficiency jumps to over 90%!
Nordic Pure is very proud that we offer this great filter now for homes. Until recently, HVAC filters MERV 13 ratings were commonly found in: communication centers, telephone terminal rooms, biological laboratories, biomedical laboratories, chemistry laboratories, and physics laboratories. But, we at Nordic Pure figured that the importance of having these great filters at work would be equally important for a home. Regardless of the efficiency of the filter, operating cost is quite specific to the building; there is no rule of thumb. This means the type of filter should be selected based on the specific building location, occupancy, air quality issues and type and operation of the HVAC system. However, it is reasonable to specify at least MERV 13 filters to maintain good indoor air quality in common types of spaces.
Nordic Pure’s MERV 13 filters are a pleated, electrostatically charged filter. The electrostatic charge of the filters works as a magnet and draw airborne particles to them. A lot of schools are starting to implement MERV 13 electrostatic air filters to help combat children’s respiratory infections and the effects of pollutants.
As you can see, Nordic Pure is constantly trying to find innovative ways at keeping the air in your home or office clean. We manufacture most any size disposable home air filter in 1", 2", 4", 5” and 6” thickness. We now have a built-in calculator on our Custom Filters page so you have MERV 13 filters that fit your HVAC system perfectly. This calculator allows you to input your dimensions and you are given a firm quote within seconds of entering your air filters information. The printed size on the side of your air filters may be the nominal size so it is best to physically measure your filters with a ruler or tape to get the EXACT measurements of your home air filters within 1/8 of an inch on the length and width. Consult your HVAC system's operating manual for information. Custom air filters are not refundable/returnable so please make sure you order the correct size. Nordic Pure recommends you replace your filters every 60 to 90 days. That way, our filters will help your HVAC system to continue running to its best capacity.
