1. Living in northern Texas
2. Master bedroom - 1,512 cu feet
3. Filtration need for mold but will take all the other basics such as pollen, allergies, dog
4. Budget is $200

HVAC unit looks to have mold according to technician. We have a UV light currently installed and are trying to get down to the root caught of the issue (might need to replace the entire unit as it’s 18 years old) but in the meantime, I have a baby and would like to at least purifier the air where he sleeps which is master bedroom. Unsure if HVAC unit can handle Merve-13 filter but we’re currently using this one https://www.homedepot.com/p/HDX-20-in-x-20-in-x-1-in-Premium-Pleated-Air-Filter-FPR-10-MERV-12-HDX1P10-012020/315964939

1. Looking for recs for the master bedroom - 1,512 cu feet - $200 budget
2. Purifier for living room - idk if it even makes sense since the dining room, kitchen and living room are entirely open concept and we have >14 ft ceilings in the living room. Looking for guidance here.
