When it comes to air filtration, nothing puts up a wall like a HEPA filter. First things first, what does HEPA stand for? High efficiency particulate air. Yeah, we’ll just stick with HEPA.
HEPA filters are made of a mat of randomly arranged fibers, usually composed of fiberglass with varying thicknesses. Based on the size of your home, your system might be best served by one, two, three or more HEPA filters, capturing even the smallest pollutants and particles.
HEPA filters capture 99.97 percent of harmful airborne pollutants 0.3 micron (that’s pretty dang small) and larger. They’re the perfect thing for those who suffer from allergies, asthma or other respiratory issues.
