LotFancy MERV 8 Pleated AC 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 rating system provides a way to evaluate a filter's ability to capture larger particles ranging from 0.3 to 10 microns (μm).

MERV 8 air filters are effective at trapping 90% of the airborne particles 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 the most efficient, trapping 98% of airborne particles in a typical home.

Before purchasing a replacement filter, it is important to check your owner's manual or measure the existing filter to ensure you get the correct size. The filter should be installed with the arrow pointing towards the blower in your HVAC unit. If the filter is installed backwards, it can collapse and damage the HVAC system.

Our furnace filters are made of moisture-resistant cotton fibers and sturdy paperboard, featuring an electrostatically charged pleated design to capture more harmful airborne particles, outperforming standard fiberglass filters.

Changing your air filter regularly ensures your home has cleaner, healthier, and fresher air, which can help improve allergies and asthma. Timely filter replacement can also help your HVAC system last longer, require less maintenance, and reduce your energy bills.

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

It is generally recommended to change your air filters every 30 to 90 days, with more frequent changes during peak winter and summer months. Signs that it's time to change your furnace's air filter include increased dust in your home, longer runtime for your furnace, failure to reach the desired temperature, a visibly dirty filter, and increased noise from the furnace.

Our 16x20x1" air filters are easy to install. Just open your vent, remove the used filter, ensure the airflow arrows point towards the HVAC unit, and slide in the new filter. Remember to turn off your HVAC system before changing the filter for safety.
