I typically use 3M Filtrete MERV 11 filters in the returns of the (2) 2021 Daikin FIT gas air handlers my HVAC contractor installed a few years ago. Unfortunately, one of my sons has contracted COVID. We’re trying to contain it within the guest bedroom he’s staying in, which has a small 14” x 14” return.
Is it okay to temporarily switch to a MERV 12 or MERV 13 filter, which captures bacteria? If so, should we just replace the one filter in the guest bedroom or all four return filters throughout the house?
And yes, we plan to install (2) Daikin Clean Comforts above the evaporator coil on each unit later this year. I’m thinking of the UC36DL16-DV, but I’m open to suggestions.
Thanks!
