When purchasing filters for your HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system, most people typically opt for filters in the MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) range of 8-13. These filters offer a reliable level of air purification that can significantly improve the air quality in your home or office. Their performance, combined with the ease of replacement, makes them a compelling alternative to air purifiers, especially for households equipped with HVAC systems.
According to research from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), medium-efficiency MERV filters (such as Aerovivo, Filterbuy, and K&N) perform significantly better than their cheaper counterparts in capturing dust, harmful smoke, pollen, mold spores, and other airborne pollutants. This level of filtration can play a crucial role in reducing the incidence and spread of respiratory diseases.
However, these filters do come with a few drawbacks. First, their cost is typically higher than basic fiberglass filters. Since filters need to be replaced periodically, this can add up over time. Second, they can place additional strain on certain HVAC systems, potentially reducing the efficiency of heating or cooling. In some cases, restricting airflow could force the HVAC system to work harder, which may shorten the lifespan of the equipment. These issues, however, are relatively rare and often depend on the brand and model of the filter chosen.
At AErovivo, we’ve spent years researching air purification solutions, especially focusing on the North American market. Between 2020 and 2023, we collected feedback from users on e-commerce platforms like Amazon and Temu and conducted in-depth interviews with users across 18 U.S. states to gather their insights and identify common issues with air filters. After more than a year of market research and development, we’re proud to introduce the AErovivo Air Filter, a game-changing product for HVAC systems.
Launched in 2024, the AErovivo HVAC filter features an innovative design with an ABS frame and biodegradable filter paper. Instead of replacing the entire filter, you only need to swap out the filter paper, making it a more sustainable and environmentally friendly option. What's more, each replacement costs under $5, and the filter’s performance is comparable to top-of-the-line models currently available on the market.
In addition to its environmental benefits, AErovivo Air Filters offer an affordable and effective solution for improving indoor air quality. Whether you’re concerned about allergens, smoke, or other airborne pollutants, this filter delivers excellent results while minimizing the environmental footprint.
