Air Cleaner and Purifier Services in Amarillo
Two Facets of Great Indoor Air Quality
Many people have never been taught the difference between air filters and
air cleaners. The effectiveness of both are measured in MERV, which is
a technical way of telling you the size of solid particulate will be captured.
Air filters have a MERV rating of 1- 12, which means they will capture
particulate from 1.0 -5.0 microns, which includes typical particulate
such as most pollen, mold, spores, pet dander and air borne hair. Air
filters will only capture about 10% of .3 micron particulate. While air
cleaners, have a MERV ratings up to 17!! This means they will capture
particulate all the way down to 0.007. Air cleaners will obviously capture
the same type particulate as filters but they will also capture fungi,
bacteria, viruses and the very smallest household dust. Another major
factor is that air cleaners will capture 97% of particulate .3 microns.
