72 years ago, Air Filter Engineers (AFE) was founded by Chicago Chief Engineers passionate about solving filtration challenges that lacked clear direction. They weren't just selling filters—they were reshaping how building engineers thought about air quality through education. Whether explaining MERV ratings or designing specialized HEPA solutions, AFE made filtration a priority in Chicago's commercial, industrial and healthcare spaces.
Hospitals, data centers, commercial buildings, food processing facilities, condominiums, schools and any other property that has an HVAC system, benefits from AFE overseeing their Environmental Air Quality program.

The air we breathe is made up of millions of particles of dust, allergens, and pollutants. To achieve an optimum level of filtration requires first understanding the particulates, how they are measured, and how to remove them.
We work hand in hand with agencies you trust to ensure that all of your filtration needs are met. Learn more about these agencies and what standards they set.
Indoor air quality can be a challenging but vital aspect of your operations. We can help you understand odor, allergens, and other pollutants to clean the air and provide a healthy working environment.
