Important American Contracting Website Highlights Eneref Report on HVAC Filter to Reduce Covid in Schools.
Klearview Appliance, a Brooklyn-based contractor, won the contract with the New York City Department of Education to install 110,000 MERV-13 filters as well as window air conditioning units for individual classrooms. All the MERV-13 filters and air conditioners installed by Klearview were manufactured by Friedrich Air Conditioners. Early in the Covid-19 pandemic, Friedrich recognized that their standard window and through-the-wall air conditioner lines were already built with the necessary headroom to expand their filtration from a MERV-6 to a virus-removing MERV-13.
