The results are cleaner indoor air, longer filter life, a cleaner HVAC system, longer furnace life, significant cost savings over time and a healthier living environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAmong the most cost-efficient air cleaners on the market, Skuttle’s High-Efficiency Air Cleaners are designed to provide peak, whole-house air filtration, helping to make your home cleaner, healthier and safer for you and your family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkuttle Air Cleaners are duct-mounted, high-capacity air filters designed to provide high-level air filtration in today’s energy-efficient homes.

Most media-type filters capture household pollutants by surface loading. Skuttle Air Cleaners, however, contain extensive filter material folded into a series of 5-inch pleats. Deep pleating permits higher particle collection over a longer period, with less wear and tear on the furnace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul class=\"bullets\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-efficiency, high-capacity filtration with minimal airflow resistance for longer furnace life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour sizes to fit virtually any furnace installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA tough, injection-molded thermoplastic door with a sporty S-curve to dress up any installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeep-pleated, MERV 8 and MERV 11 filter media permit extended, high-volume service—from 6 to 12 months.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA six-month dial to remind homeowners when its time to check the media for possible replacement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSturdy, 20-gauge, zinc-coated steel cabinet, warranted for 10 years.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-punched drill holes in the frame for faster, easier installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDependable, high-quality products made in the USA.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Capacity, High-Efficiency Air Cleaners come in four popular sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel DB-25-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel DB-25-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel DB-20-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel DB-20-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkuttle provides two options for filter media, MERV 8 for most homes and MERV 11 where finer filtration of airborne pollutants is needed for health reasons or to offset environmental factors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnder standardized testing, Skuttle’s MERV 8 high-efficiency filter media will capture and hold 84.9% of airborne contaminants and pollutants ranging between 3.0 and 10.0 microns in size. For comparison, a single human hair is huge, ranging from 20.0 to 40.0 microns in size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMost homeowners will find MERV 8 filtration to be highly effective. However, for homeowners who insist on the best possible dust control, Skuttle’s MERV 11 high-efficiency filter media stops particles in the 1.0 to 3.0 micron range, making it an excellent choice for very high indoor air quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eMERV = Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value, an international industry standard determining a numeric value of filter media efficiency based on its ability to capture and hold dirt and dust particles of specific sizes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"textalignr\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"http:\/\/skuttle.com\/images\/electric.gif\" alt=\"Minimal Electricity\" width=\"36\" height=\"21\"\u003e= Uses \u003cstrong\u003eno\u003c\/strong\u003e electricity\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"textalignr\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"http:\/\/skuttle.com\/images\/environmental.gif\" alt=\"A Green Choice\" width=\"42\" height=\"20\"\u003e = Environmentally friendly\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Skuttle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47344878452909,"sku":"DB-2016","price":84.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0785\/5895\/3645\/files\/DBSeries.jpg?v=1787908365","url":"https:\/\/www.bostonheatingsupply.com\/products\/skuttle-db-20-16-high-efficiency-air-cleaners","provider":"Boston Heating Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
