HVAC Air Filtration Systems in Manitoba

Upgrade Your Furnace Air Filtration System

Your furnace filter is your first line of defense against airborne particles. But the standard 1-inch filters that come with most furnaces only capture large particles. Patterson Mechanical can upgrade your HVAC air filtration to capture dust, allergens, and microscopic contaminants that basic filters miss.

Understanding MERV Ratings

MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) measures a filter's ability to capture particles. Higher MERV ratings mean better filtration:

• MERV 1-4: Basic filters, captures large particles like dust and lint
• MERV 5-8: Better residential filters, captures mold spores and pet dander
• MERV 9-12: Superior residential, captures fine dust and auto emissions
• MERV 13-16: Hospital-grade, captures bacteria and tobacco smoke

We can assess your HVAC system and recommend the highest MERV air filter installation your equipment can handle without restricting airflow.

Beyond filter upgrades, we install dedicated whole house air filtration systems:

• Media air cleaners: 4-5 inch deep-pleated filters with much greater surface area than standard filters
• Electronic air cleaners: Use electrical charges to trap particles, washable and reusable
