LotFancy MERV 8 Furnace Filters, 4 Pack

In order to maintain clean air in your home or business, it is crucial to replace air filters regularly and dispose of old ones properly. The MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) rating is a measure of a filter's ability to capture larger particles ranging from 0.3 to 10 microns (μm) in size.

MERV 8 air filters are effective at trapping 90% of the airborne particles commonly found in the average home. MERV 11 air filters are effective at capturing 95% of airborne particles in a typical home. MERV 13 air filters are even more efficient, removing 98% of airborne particles.

Before purchasing a replacement filter, consult your owner's manual to identify the correct size and number of filters needed for your HVAC system. You can also measure the existing filter yourself to ensure an accurate fit. When installing the new filter, the arrow should point towards the blower in your HVAC unit. If the filter is in a wall or ceiling, the arrow should point towards the wall or ceiling.

Changing your air filter regularly is crucial for several reasons. It ensures your home has cleaner, healthier, and fresher air, which can improve allergies and asthma. Timely filter replacement can also extend the lifespan of your HVAC system and reduce your energy bills.

The appropriate MERV rating for your home will depend on your heating and cooling system, as well as the size of your home. You need to strike a balance between removing the most airborne contaminants while maintaining adequate airflow.

As a general guideline, you should change your air filters every 30 to 90 days, with more frequent changes recommended during peak usage seasons (winter and summer). Signs that it's time to change your filter include increased dust in your home, your furnace running longer or more often, your home not reaching the desired temperature, a visibly dirty filter, or a noisier furnace.

Our furnace filters are made of moisture-resistant cotton fibers and sturdy paperboard, with an electrostatically charged pleated design to capture more harmful airborne particles. They outperform standard fiberglass filters, providing superior performance.
