Different Types of Heating and A/C Filters on the Market

If you’ve ever had to purchase a boiler filter, you know that there are numerous unusual types to choose from.

But how do you know which one is right for your boiler? And what other types of filters are available for heating and cooling systems? Here’s a quick guide from your friendly Heating and A/C rep.

The most proper type of boiler filter is the disposable pleated filter. These filters are made of paper or fiberglass and can be salvaged many times before they need to be replaced, and pleated filters are genuinely effective at trapping dust and other particles, making them a good choice for homes with pets or pollen irritations. However, they can also restrict air flow, which can lead to boiler problems. Another type of boiler filter is the HEPA filter. These filters are much denser than pleated filters, and they are designed to capture genuinely small particles. HEPA filters are often used in hospitals and other environments where air quality is genuinely pressing. However, they can also be quite costly, and they may need to be replaced more often than pleated filters, but a/C filters are also available in both pleated and HEPA varieties; In general, A/C filters do not need to be as dense as boiler filters because the A/C component itself helps to remove some of the particles from the air. However, if you have pollen irritations or pets, you may want to use a HEPA filter in your A/C component to help keep the air clean, and no matter which type of filter you choose, it’s pressing to change it regularly. I hope this info helps you out some.
