Air Filters & Whole-Home Filtration Systems in Oregon
The First Line of Defense for Your Home's Indoor Air Quality
Your HVAC system's air filter does far more than protect equipment—it's the primary barrier between your family and airborne pollutants like dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and volatile organic compounds. At Elevated Air Heating and Cooling, we supply, install, and maintain residential and commercial filtration systems that dramatically improve the air you breathe while extending the life of your heating and cooling equipment. We are proud to deliver these high-quality solutions for both residential and commercial HVAC systems across Silverton, Salem, and the Willamette Valley.
Understanding MERV Ratings
MERV measures a filter's ability to capture particles. Sizing and choice are critical to system health:
- MERV 1–4 (Basic): Fiberglass filters that trap large dust and carpet fibers. Minimal protection.
- MERV 8–11 (Standard): Clogged pleated media filters that trap mold spores, pet dander, and fine dust. The sweet spot.
- MERV 13–16 (Premium): Hospital-grade pleated systems capturing microscopic allergens, smoke, and bacteria.
Air Filtration Options We Provide
Depending on your system's blower capacities, we offer deep-pleat media boxes or electronic air cleaners:
Deep-Pleat Media Cabinets
4-inch to 5-inch thick filters that have up to 10 times the surface area of standard filters, lasting up to 6 months.
Electronic Cleaners
Uses electrostatic precipitation to charge particles, pulling them from air streams like a magnet.
