What is a Filter?

Filters in HVAC Systems

In Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems, filters are essential components that help maintain indoor air quality by removing contaminants, pollutants, and debris from the air. By trapping particles, dust, and allergens, filters prevent them from circulating back into the building, reducing the risk of respiratory problems and other health issues. HVAC filters typically come in different types, including HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters that capture 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, and air purifiers that provide additional purification capabilities. By maintaining proper filter performance, HVAC systems can operate efficiently, effectively remove contaminants, and improve indoor air quality, reducing energy consumption and extending the lifespan of equipment.
