Below are a few practical home essentials we use at home and repurchase when needed quaretly/in bulk to change quaterly/as and when required.
PRODUCT 1: HVAC FURNANCE FILTER ( MERV 13 )
Why We Use It:
- If your furnace starts short-cycling or "acting out," a choked filter is the number one culprit. This is a non-negotiable survival item if your neighborhood has active residential construction.
- Why we use it: The MERV 13 rating acts as an elite defense line, trapping microscopic smoke, pollen, and construction dust before it hits your lungs.
- Pro-Tip: Replace this strictly every 3 months to maintain strong airflow and lower your heating bill.
