Your home's heating and cooling equipment has a working life of approximately 17 years. Your cost of replacing that equipment (furnace, air conditioner, heat pump etc.) can range from $4,000 to $20,000. For that kind of investment, you would want to prolong the operation and maximize efficiency over that 17 years (maybe make it to 20 years!).
The easiest way to do this is by installing an air cleaner with a rating of MERV 10 or higher. MERV stands for Minimum Efficiency Reported Value. The rating of a 10 (on a scale from 1 to 20) means it removes large particulate from the air which are 10 microns or larger. In fact it must remove up to 85 to 100% of the particulate in the 3 to 10 micron size range. This captures all of the dust, dirt, pollen, mold spores that builds up on your coils and equipment.
Hey, like your arteries, stuff builds up and puts strain on your heart and therefore your life... your home's heart is it's HVAC equipment and you want to prolong it's life too!
