I have two indoor pets. A cat and a small Welsh Corgie dog.
I am also moving into a new home (brand new model home). In the home I am in, it was built in 1986 and has a simple AC unit with changeable 16x20x1 filters. With my allergies....it's not enough. It probably doesn't help that the whole house is carpet (crappy carpet that I know is the problem).
I come home now to this house and within 10 minutes I get sinus pressure and stoppage....and the house stays clean (we vacuum 3 times a week) with a HEPA filtered vacuum cleaner.
I do not want this in the new house. Luckily in the new home, 75% of the house is slate tile with carpet in the bedrooms.
It has a great AC system, but I know filter media is everything when trying to capture allergens. What filter media do you guys suggest?
A guy I work with spent $1600 on an Accuclean system - http://www.americanstandardair...Updates/AccuClean.aspx - but I can't justify spending this much on that.....but can if I need to.
I don't mind spending $20-30 on filter media that just needs to be changed....right now I buy the 3M crap from Wal-Mart for $6 each or so.....
Zyrtec can only do so much for me.....I need your help!

Not much better, but they say they'll go for 3 months. Personally, I'd rather get the cheapies and replace them monthly, but I've never had problems with allergies, so it might be worth a shot for the OP.
