The frames of air filters 20x20x1 are made of beverage cardboard, which is strong and resistant to moisture and temperatures up to 200°F. These filters are designed to protect heating and cooling equipment from airborne particles, as well as remove microscopic particles that can contaminate the home, stain walls and furniture, and aggravate seasonal allergies. If you have pets, children, or allergy sufferers in your home or business, it is important to replace air filters more often to maintain higher indoor air quality and keep energy costs down. Discount Filters offers many different types of discounted air filters to help you breathe the air inside your home better depending on your specific needs.
The industry standard for rating the efficiency of air filters is MERV, which stands for Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value. We recommend AirX Allergy (MERV 1) filters, as they offer the best combination of performance and price. When creating a filter with this tool, you must use the “real” size of the filter, that is, the size shown by the measuring tape, and not a nominal filter size. In addition to keeping your air conditioning system clean, the filter removes airborne particles and allergens from your home air. A dirty, clogged filter can restrict air flow from the oven or air conditioner and potentially cause system problems.
A dirty filter restricts air flow to the system's air controller, making it work harder to cool or heat the house. It is essential to replace your air filter regularly in order to maintain a healthy home environment. Not only will it help keep your HVAC system running efficiently, but it will also help reduce allergens in your home and improve indoor air quality.
