In general, we measure an air filter’s efficiency by its ability to capture particles from the air. But, to qualify as HEPA certified, air filters must first conform to the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) standards.
Doe.gov defines HEPA filter as a throwaway, dry type filter in a rigid casing or enclosure. The device must exhibit an efficiency of at least 99.97% when tested with an aerosol of 0.3-micrometer diameter.
Many brands nowadays are using the word “HEPA” and “true HEPA” in the packaging of their products. Because of this, many homeowners end up believing that all types of air…
While smart meters are becoming more common in the energy sector, it is still new in the water industry. But, modern water meters are useful in many ways. In general, they reduce costs and help to track and manage people’s water consumption.

HEPA filters often come with a hefty price tag.
But, since we live in a world full of all kinds of air pollutants, investing in a high-grade HEPA filtration system is a smart choice. In fact, it is an effective way to improve the quality of the air we breathe, and at the same time, protect our health.
Morconnect explains that HEPA (filter) stands for “high-efficiency particulate air”. They are mechanical filters that remove about 99.97% of airborne particles with a size of at least 0.3 microns. Filters with the HEPA standard must meet certain levels of efficiency. In the…
Attic insulation is very useful in all kinds of climates. During summer, it blocks the heat from getting into your home. This means that you will have to spend less money on air conditioning. Meanwhile, during winter, it prevents ice damming from happening.
Ice damming is the buildup of ice that occurs on roof edges and gutters during wintertime. This happens when the heat from your attic and the sun melts the snow deposit on your roof. As the melted snow drips to roof edges and gutters, it freezes once again. This can cause significant damage to your roof, attic…
