- 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. HVAC filters with an electrostatic charge have fibers that contain both negative and positive charges in the filter fibers. The charged fibers attract dust and airborne particles to make your home's air clean and safe for you and your family. Negative health effects from indoor air pollutants such as mold, secondhand smoke and household cleaning products can be experienced soon after exposure or even years later. Because people spend up to 90% of their time indoors, the EPA has named Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) a top five environmental health risk. Change your home air filters at least every 3 months to keep the air in your home safe to breathe.
