Proper Air Filtration Is Necessary

Most homeowners think about outdoor air pollution — but indoor air quality is often a greater concern. The EPA estimates that indoor air can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air. Proper air filtration is essential.

What Air Filters Remove

A quality air filtration system captures dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, bacteria, and other airborne particles. Higher-rated filters can capture particles as small as 0.1 microns.

MERV Ratings

Air filters are rated on the MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) scale. Higher MERV ratings indicate better filtration. Standard 1-inch filters have low MERV ratings. Trane’s media filters and CleanEffects system offer significantly better filtration without restricting airflow.

Why It Matters in Florida

Florida’s warm, humid climate creates favorable conditions for mold and allergens. Proper air filtration is especially important for residents with allergies, asthma, or other respiratory conditions.
