Proper air filtration is a key component of keeping the air in your home clean and free of potential pollutants. But there are many different types of air filters available. Some are better than others. Which ones are right for your home?
In order to answer this question you need to look at the various types of filters available and recognize their effectiveness of removing particulates from the air.
Types of Filters
One inch filters – The most common filters on the market today are the one-inch filters found in supermarkets, hardware stores and home supply retailers. All these filters guarantee a percentage of effectiveness but be careful. We’ve found the least expensive filters offer little to no cleaning ability… and the most expensive filters restrict too much air flow as they get fill up. We’ve partnered with Natures Home to provide our customers with the highest quality filters at the most cost effective rate we could. Take a look!
Do you know MERV?
MERV ratings (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) measure a filter’s ability to remove particulates from the air. They range on a scale from 1 to 16; the higher the rating, the more effective the filter is at collecting particulates.
4 -5 inch filters – These provide good air flow but, again, are generally not great at collecting particles less than one micron in size.
Electrostatic filters – They tend to be tough to clean and are, unfortunately, good at restricting airflow. Restricting airflow can impede the effectiveness and efficiency of your entire HVAC system.
As you can see, there are a number of inadequate filters out there. That’s where we come in. The air filtration experts at 72 Degrees can install an air filtration system in your home that is effective in picking up particulates that are less than one micron in size, thereby removing most common household particles (dust, for example).

Completely Satisfied: To take advantage of the tax incentives, I decided to replace my main floor HVAC/heat pump earlier this year. 72 Degrees was by far the most professional and thorough of the 4 contractors I interviewed. Quoted price was fair and included everything I wanted and nothing I didn't...
Outstanding customer service is always worth it's weight in gold if you ask me. Had our home heat pump go belly up. The guys from 72 Degrees came out and gave me what I feel was an honest assessment of the problem. Heat pump DOA… I DID NOT shop around and I usually give myself all the time I need for a purchase this large. This is how impressed I was with the salesman, his professionalism and over knowledge of his product...
Outstanding Company. I would give them a 6 if I could. They were very prompt in getting to the job, as a matter-of-fact, they called and asked if it was alright for them to come 2 hours ahead of schedule. This was "NOT" a problem for me. The tech was friendly and knew what he doing. He offered me options that no other service provider offered. He was done in about an hour and I had my system working again. I would recommend these guys any day of the week.
Courteous, Professional, Company with fast response time. I have been using 72 degrees for over a year now and every time I call they are right there. Their technicians are courteous, and professional and very knowledgeable about any issue that you may have.
Member Comments: Everyone I interacted with was very professional as well as friendly. There were other groups that I looked at that were less expensive, but 72 has the BEST warranties out of the service providers I looked into. I know they stand behind it as well. One of my friends used them and had an issue after installation; he told me the fix was taken care of immediately, and the president of the company came out to make sure he was satisfied. These folks stand behind their name and that means a lot to me. 
72 deg. replaced my heating/cooling system. They were always on time , They called me to tell me when they would be working. The replacement was done very fast… 72 deg. had the right tools, manpower, and equipment to provide and install my new heating/cooling system. The front office worked hand in hand with the field crews to provide a super job "Well Done."
