HVAC Air Filters in Ogden, UT
Emphasis on clean IAQ (indoor air quality) is not a trend; it’s a way to live healthier, more comfortable lives. If you share your home with infants, seniors, or family members who are in treatment for illness, clean air circulation can make a big difference to their health.
Clean air in Northern Utah makes life better for all of us.
We’re spending much more time in our homes, and the EPA says our indoor air is significantly more toxic than outdoor air. Airborne allergens and pollutants can be controlled with high-efficiency HVAC air filters.

How Do HVAC Air Filters Work?
Air cleaners and HVAC filters are designed to filter pollutants or contaminants out of the air that passes thru them. Air cleaning and filtration can help reduce airborne contaminants, including particles containing viruses. — EPA.gov
Our heating and cooling systems use HVAC filters to trap airborne pollutants, such as:
- Carbon monoxide
- Dust
- Excess moisture
- Pet dander
- Pollen
- Radon
- VOCs (volatile organic compounds)
- Aerosol sprays/paints
- Air fresheners
- Disinfectants
- Pesticides
Your HVAC air filter confines these contaminants and prevents them from recirculating in your home.
You may have heard about MERV (minimum efficiency reporting value). The MERV rating is a filter’s ability to capture small (0.3 microns) to larger (10+ microns) pollutants. A higher rating means a higher resistance, but it also means less airflow can pass through the filter.
For example, the lowest MERV rating is 1–4. It will filter dust and textile fiber. But a MERV rating of 17–20 could block your HVAC system’s airflow, causing problems. A 13–16 is considered “hospital” quality filtration and can be used in homes, but you may see better system efficiency at a lower MERV rating, like 7–13.
Following your manufacturer’s guidelines is always best, but you feel free to call (801) 416-2215(801) 416-2215 or contact Mountain Air with any questions.
