- Merv 13 efficiency rated furnace filters and AC filters can clean your home's air of pet dander, microscopic allergens, virus carriers, pollen, household dust, cigarette smoke, mold spores and more.

The charged fibers attract dust and airborne particles to make your home's air clean and safe for you and your family. Today, people spend up to 90% of their time indoors. This makes the air we breathe inside important to our short and long-term health. Indoor air pollutants such as household cleaning products, mold and pet dander can be effectively cleaned from the air when a home's air filter is changed every 90 days or sooner.
