Which Efficiency to Choose?

Efficiency levels are listed by MERV Ratings. MERV stands for Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value. It is a basic way to compare the quality of the filters available for purchase. The higher the MERV rating, the more particles such as dust, pet dander, allergens, and bacteria your filter will remove from the air you breathe. Matching the right MERV rating for your home, can improve your air quality and the life of your HVAC system.

MERV rating information:

Merv 8 (MPR 600) Lint, Dust, Pollen, Dust Mites, & Mold Spores
Merv 11 (MPR 1000 – 1200) MERV 8 items + Pet Dander, Smog, Smoke, Cough/Sneeze
Merv 13 (MPR 1500 – 1900) Merv 11 items + Bacteria & Virus Carriers
