Home technology expert, Ross Trethewey teaches how air filtration systems work and how to build a localized DIY air filter. Ross explains the MERV air filtration system. MERV stands for Minimal Efficiency Reporting Value, a value that measures how effectively a filter stops particulates of varying sizes from passing through and into the air system. The higher the rating, the more effective the filter is at capturing smaller particles. Ratings 1-16 are HVAC use; in general, houses usually have around a MERV 5-12 system. MERV 17-20 are HEPA filters, those are used in hospitals and laboratories. Ross clarifies that homeowners cannot just install a MERV 16 or HEPA filter into their homes. In many circumstances the HVAC systems homeowners have in place simply aren’t strong enough to handle higher rated filters, as the more filtration the air has to go through, the more resistance it has to overcome. Even if you were to get a thicker filter that increases surface area, meaning less resistance, you’ll have to check if your HVAC system has enough space to install a thicker filter. Check with an HVAC technician to check what rating your system can handle.

If you are unable to acquire a higher rated filter, Ross demonstrates how to build your own DIY air filter. By taking four MERV-13 air filters and duct taping them on all four sides of a box fan, you’ll have a localized air filter for any room you want. For about $150, you can have a little piece of mind during wildfires and other disasters that impact our air quality.

Time: 20 minutes
Cost: $150
Skill Level: Beginner

Shopping List:
20-inch box fan [https://amzn.to/39AXsCa]
Four 20x20x2 MERV-13 air filters [https://amzn.to/3qKzECS]
Duct tape [https://amzn.to/3qpWmAd]
Cardboard cutout [https://amzn.to/3spfvns]

Steps:
1. Cut out a piece of cardboard that’s the same size as the box fan to use for the back.
2. Place the cardboard on a table and take the four air filters and stack them on the edges of the cutout, with the airflow arrow pointing in (air intake side).
3. Take duct tape and secure each filter to the fan.
4. Duct tape the cardboard backing.
5. Place the fan on the other side and secure it with duct tape.
6. Remember that you’ll have to replace the filters every once in a while. For Ross’ DIY system, the filters should be replaced about every six months.

Where to find it?
Ross built the air filter using four, 20x20x2, MERV-13 air filters, which Ross got from Filterbuy (https://filterbuy.com/ ). He duct taped the filters to a cardboard box and a 20-in 3-Speed Box Fan, which is manufactured by Lasko (https://www.lasko.com/ ), though any 20” fan would work for this application.

We all dream of buying our own home.
But with the high real estate prices,we are left with no other option than to take home loans to make this dream come true.
And with these huge loans come astronomical interest costs. But there is a way to make these home loans interest free.
Yes! It’s possible!
And we’ll tell you exactly how in this video
But before that... a quick reminder...if you want to watch more videos like these, make sure you click the subscribe button and hit the notification bell!
While most banks and housing finance companies highlight
the EMIs you need to pay, and make you believe that you can afford your dream house,
the reality is home loans cost an insane amount of money.
In most cases, the total interest you will end up paying will be much higher than the loan amount.
For example, for a home loan amount of ₹ 40 lakhs at 9% interest for a tenure of 20 years, EMI would be ₹ 35,989.
So, if you keep paying this EMI for 20 years, you end up paying ₹ 86.37 lakhs in total.
This ₹46.37 lakhs extra is the interest you pay.
Take a moment to think about it – you pay more than what you borrowed as interest plus the actual amount.
However, there is no way out to get rid of interest because that’s the way the loan system works.
So, does it mean you should not buy a house till the time you don’t have the entire amount?
If you can, nothing like it. But for most of us, this might not be a viable option.
The Solution – Recover the interest amount you will pay by investing in mutual funds
By starting a SIP of 0.16% of your home loan amount in an equity mutual scheme,
you can recover the interest amount.
Let’s continue with the example we mentioned above.
If you start a monthly SIP of ₹ 6400 (0.16% of the loan amount), your investments at a 12% average annual return will grow to a total of ₹ 63.31 lakhs in 20 years.
From this corpus, even if you deduct your invested amount, which is ₹15.36 lakhs, then also you will have ₹47.95 lakhs in your hands, which is more than enough to cover the interest you will pay.
This calculation holds true no matter what your loan amount is
If you have taken or are planning to take a loan to buy your dream home, you will have to pay interest costs.
But with a small SIP, you can recover the entire amount with ease.
However, this will become a reality only if you keep investing that amount and demonstrate patience.
And that brings us to the end of the video.
