- Merv 8 efficiency rated furnace filters and AC filters can clean your home's air of dust, dust mites debris, lint, pet dander and pollen. Standard home air filters trap particles in the air but electrostatically charged HVAC filters are designed to attract particles such as dust by utilizing both negative and positive charges in the filter fibers. Indoor air quality can be even more polluted than outdoor air from mold, household cleaning products, pet dander and more. Given people spend almost 90% of the time indoors, make sure to change your home air filters regularly to avoid the long-term negative health effects of breathing in dirty air.
