LotFancy 20x30x1 MERV 13 Pleated HVAC Filters (6 Pack)

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

MERV 8 air filters are effective in trapping 90% of the airborne particles commonly found in the average home. MERV 11 air filters, on the other hand, are effective in capturing 95% of airborne particles in a typical household. The most efficient option, MERV 13 air filters, can trap up to 98% of airborne particles in a standard home.

Before purchasing a replacement filter, consult your owner's manual to identify the correct size or number of your filter, which should also be printed on the side of your existing filter. Alternatively, measure the filter yourself to ensure accurate sizing.

When installing the air filter, the arrow on the filter should point towards the blower in your HVAC unit. If the filter is located in the wall or ceiling, the arrow should point towards the wall or ceiling. Inserting the filter backward can cause it to collapse and damage your HVAC system.

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

Regularly changing your air filter ensures cleaner, healthier, and fresher air in your home, which can help alleviate allergies and asthma. Timely filter replacement can also extend the lifespan of your HVAC system and reduce your energy bills.

The MERV rating you should use will depend on your heating and cooling system and the size of your home. You must strike a balance between removing the maximum number of airborne contaminants while maintaining adequate airflow.

It is recommended to change your air filters every 30 to 90 days, depending on the type and efficiency of the filter. During peak winter and summer months, monthly filter changes are advised.

Some signs that it's time to change your furnace's air filter include increased dust in your home, your furnace running longer or more often than usual, your home not reaching the desired temperature, a visibly dirty filter, and a noisier furnace.

Our easy-to-install air filters come in MERV 8, MERV 11, and MERV 13 ratings, with a filtration capacity of 90% to 98% for particles ranging from 0.3 to 10 microns, effectively capturing dust, lint, dander, airborne debris, pollen, smoke, smog, and bacteria.
