We have a 1430 sq ft ranch syle home built in 1965 that is surrounded by farm land. We have been here for almost 1 yr. When we moved in, we had the ducts professionally cleaned..( a vacumn with a spinning brush) and have been replacing the filters with a $16.00 3M, Merv 12 every 3 mos. My husband has allergies. Is there anything else I can do to have cleaner air in the house. I dust constantly but it just keeps coming back. Should we change the air filters more often or different ones..the "professional" suggested we buy expensive,washable filters..like $200. Would others be better? Also, does the air travel down from the furnace through the floor vents and then up through the intakes on the ceiling. I hope I am installing the filters correctly..which indicates how to install based on the airflow. Any help or suggestions? |
