Media Filters or commonly known as clean air filters, are designed to remove air contaminants down to .3 microns. Typically, it consists of 100% synthetic electrostatic fibers that trap even the smallest particle size. Unlike a traditional air conditioning filter a high quality media furnace filter removes atmospheric and household dust, coal dust, insecticide dust, mites, pollen, mold spores, fungi, bacteria, pet dander, smoke particles, and cooking grease. They protect and prolong the operation and efficiency of the heating and cooling equipment. Normally, this furnace air filter will fit snug and not allow for air gaps, therefore maximizing the systems ability to clean the air. Some features include reversible air flow, easily replaced, durable frame, and most media filters offer a minimum MERV 10 rating.

Using a high efficiency furnace air filter to replace a cheap disposable air conditioning filter allows for cleaner air to breath. In the last several years a growing body of scientific evidence has indicated the air within homes and other buildings can be more seriously polluted than the outdoor air, especially in the largest and most industrialized cities. Other research indicates that people spend approximately 90 percent of their time indoors. Therefore, for many people, the risks to health may be greater due to exposure to air pollution indoors than outdoors. It is crucial for every home to replace the furnace air filter on a regular basis.
