How often you have to replace a furnace filter usually depends on quality. Filter king air filters can last for up to three months before needing replacement. The most obvious signs that it’s time to get a new filter include:

• Visible dirt and debris covering the filter surface
• An abnormally high heating bill
• Fine dust buildup around the home
• A burning or acrid smell around your HVAC system

MERV Rating: Which Should You Use?

The Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value, or MERV rating of a filter, tells you what kind of contaminants a particular unit can remove from the air. The MERV rating is based on how tightly woven the fibers and strands inside a filter are. The tighter the weave, the smaller the particles a filter can capture.

In general, homes and other residential buildings need an air filter with a MERV rating between just 8 and 12. Higher-rated filters tend to need more frequent replacing, as they trap more particulate matter, and so may not be the most economical choice for homeowners.

Higher rated filters are reserved for commercial buildings where you might find pollutants that aren’t common in the home. You often see filters with MERV ratings of 13 to 16 used in manufacturing plants, hospitals, pharmacies, and more.

Filter King furnace air filters 16x25x4 come in a choice of MERV 8, 11, or 13, making them ideal for both residential and commercial use. Each filter is able to block different types of particles, so it's important to be aware of MERV ratings before choosing the right filter for your home.

FAQs: Common Questions

When Should I Change An Air Filter?

It’s recommended that you change your air filter every one to three months as needed. With a Filter King air filter, you’ll typically get around three months of average use before needing a replacement. However, if you’re living with pets or someone with allergy, it may be best to replace it a little bit sooner.

What MERV Rating Filter Should I Pick?

The MERV rating that you pick will largely depend on what you want to filter out of your house. You want something with a high enough rating to filter out major irritants and airborne allergens, but not so high that you end up restricting airflow.

If you need an air filter for your home, you should look for those with a MERV rating of 8, 11 and 13. You don’t have to change or clean the filter as often as one with a higher MERV rating. If you are living with pets in the house or someone that has respiratory problems, then I recommend you look at MERV 11 or 13 ratings for better filtration.
