Inquiry

If a home has a separate heating/cooling system and supply ventilation system, are MERV-8 filters required for both? Is it acceptable to have air filters on either?

Ruling

MERV-8 filters are required for both the heating and cooling distribution, as well as for any mechanically supplied outside air.
