What is MERV rating and what should I get?
MERV is a 1-16 scale measuring filter efficiency. Builder-grade is usually MERV 8 (catches dust, lint, pollen). MERV 13 catches finer particles including smoke, mold spores, and bacteria. We spec MERV 13 minimum on every HD install. MERV 16 is HEPA-equivalent and requires a properly sized media cabinet.
Should I get UV-C lamps or an air purifier?
UV-C lamps mounted at the coil kill mold and bacteria growing on the coil itself. iWave-R bipolar ionization handles smoke odors, VOCs, and airborne pathogens throughout the duct system. They solve different problems and can be combined.
