Are Pleated Air Filters Right for You?
Figuring out if pleated air filters are right for you is easy! If you're looking for a sustainable filter option that requires fewer filter replacements and offers long-term savings, then you should consider switching to pleated air filters.
Pleated air filters are known for their featured folds, or pleats, that provide more surface area to capture higher volumes of contaminants. Because of their uniform spacing, pleated air filters maximize holding capacity and filter life, and they won't collapse or bunch. Purolator pleated air filters use high-efficiency media without negatively affecting the resistance to airflow.
Purolator pleated air filters are the result of our ongoing commitment to improving the science of air filtration and perfecting the quality and performance of our filters. Purolator pleated filters currently outperform competitors in initial efficiency and average efficiency - proving optimal filter life. The design of our pleated air filters allows air to flow through them easily, which is why they are highly effective at capturing airborne contaminants.
Before choosing an air filter, it's important to check the MERV rating recommended by your HVAC systems manufacturer. For additional assistance, get in touch with our specialists.
Air filters capture contaminants like dust, dander, and pollen to keep clean air circulating through HVAC systems. There are many different types of air filters, each being uniquely designed to provide specific features and MERV ratings.
Although filters with higher MERV ratings are more effective at trapping small air contaminants like bacteria, they're not made to be compatible with every HVAC system or suitable for every application. Pairing high MERV-rated filters with an incompatible HVAC system can result in airflow blockage, high energy costs, declined performance, and equipment malfunction. Using the proper air filter guarantees maximum performance and service life.
Pleated air filters offer more value for their cost and can last up to 3 months based on the environment and season. They can be biodegradable or recyclable and make an excellent choice for allergy sufferers and individuals with respiratory issues.
Nobody pays more attention to media specifications than Purolator. Rigid requirements for resistance, efficiency, MERV values, and dust holding capacity are verified by QC checks on incoming raw materials, production line sampling, and field audits of finished goods.
