Lennox HC16 vs Honeywell F300 vs Trane CleanEffects Furnace Filters
The following review compares all the air cleaners
using the ASHRAE 52.2 standard. Some of the companies market the efficiency
of their filters using the efficiency of the filter right out of the box.
The problem with this is as the filter gets full of dust the efficiency
drops off drastically in some cases like that of the Trane CleanEffects.
I am recommending the Lennox HC16 (MERV 16) mechanical filter because the
filter is 95% effiicent at removing all particles from 0.3 - 10 micron even
after the filter is loaded with a whole year's worth of dust. This filter
system does not use any electricity which is another great advantage over
the electronic air cleaners
