Are you wanting the best filtration in your home? Air filtration? cleaning the air the best way possible? And you've seen all these different options out there and you're not quite sure what the best way to go? I Was helping somebody on our website the other day and we were going back and forth on a few things and they had some concerns and I thought it would make for a good video. First of all, who am I my name is Josh I host the HVAC guide for homeowners YouTube channel. Let's dive into this: if you are looking at getting a HEPA filter for your home. HEPA stands for high Efficiency particulate air filter and so why would you even want a HEPA filter HEPA Filters to be even called a HEPA filter has to meet certain requirements.

You've got these other filters with high Merv ratings. They still don't meet the requirements to be called a HEPA filter. To be called a HEPA filter, it has to capture at least 99.97 of fine Airborne particles with the size of 0.3 microns and so when air filters are this good, when they're filled filtering out that many of the particulates floating through the air, they're going to filter out a lot of the things that your typical air filters may not. So in addition to the dust, pollen, and mold and things like that, it's also going to filter out bacteria, some viruses possibly, and Airborne particles with those smaller sizes.

So there's High Merv filters out there that you gotta constantly look at. What's my static pressure? What's my static drop across that air filter. And that's a lot of concern for folks, especially when they are dealing with heating and air systems that the ductwork might be undersized to start with. and then you go stick in these higher end better filters that filter out more particulates.

But then they start to cause other issues. So one of the things that we were talking about with this customer on our website is these systems that maybe has a bypass air filter. so you don't necessarily restrict the airflow going through your heating and air system quite as bad if installed properly. These bypass HEPA filtration systems won't affect the static pressure hardly at all, but we've done a video recently on what I think may be one of the best solutions for your home.

especially if you are dealing with issues: whether it's odors, whether it's breathing, issues with someone in your home, whether it's allergies, whether it's whatever reason you want to filter the air better in your home. And that's these Standalone units that Daikin makes. Check out those videos that I've done on those units I Think that they're a great solution. They have ultraviolet light that cleans the air, they've got the HEPA filtration, and they've got the carbon filtration that helps with odors among other things.

And if you decide you'd like to purchase one of those units, just click it down in the description. We'll put a link that if you click that you'll be able to save 10 percent off of one of those units. just as a thank you for watching our videos. So let me know your thoughts.

Are you considering getting the top of the line filtration of some type for your home? I'd love to hear about that comment down below. Let me know why you are looking at that. sort of: why are you concerned about the air you're breathing in your home I'd love to hear about that if you like this video I Think you'll like this one even more. It's where I break down how to compare heating and air systems and the efficiency ratings.
