Filterbuy 19x20x1 MERV 8 Pleated HVAC AC Furnace Air Filters (2-Pack)

Measurement System and MERV Ratings The Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) rates a filter's ability to capture airborne particles on a scale of 1-20, with higher values indicating better filtration. Filters are categorized into three main levels:

Standard Protection (90% Airborne Particles): MERV 8 Air Filters These filters are perfect for almost any home or business seeking great indoor air quality at a reasonable rate. They effectively trap dust, pollen, and other particles ranging from 3-10 microns in size.

Superior Protection (95% Airborne Particles): MERV 11 Air Filters Ideal for homes or businesses with factors like pets, smokers, and allergy sufferers, these filters capture particles from 1-3 microns, including smog and smoke.

Optimal Protection (98% Airborne Particles): MERV 13 Air Filters Providing the best possible filtration, MERV 13 filters are perfect for larger spaces or those who demand the highest air quality. They can trap particles as small as 0.3-1 microns, including bacteria.

Odor Eliminator (90% Airborne Particles): MERV 8 Filters with Activated Carbon These filters combine reliable MERV 8 performance with the added benefit of activated carbon to help inhibit unpleasant odors in homes or businesses.

Choosing the Right Filter Size Each filter has both a "nominal size" (rounded measurement) and an "actual size" (precise dimensions). Measure your current filter to determine the appropriate nominal size when searching for replacements. Proper fit is crucial for optimal airflow and performance.

Why Change Air Filters? Replacing air filters regularly maintains healthy indoor air quality, preventing respiratory issues like asthma and allergies. Dirty filters can also lead to system inefficiencies, increasing energy costs and requiring costly repairs.

When to Change Filters We generally recommend replacing filters every 3 months, but the optimal frequency may vary based on factors like household size, pet ownership, and allergy sensitivities.
