Which MERV Rating Should I Choose?

• MERV 1–4 (fiberglass) — Lowest cost. Protects your blower and coil from debris but won't improve air quality. Best for rentals and monthly-change schedules.
• MERV 8 (pleated) — Residential and light-commercial standard. Captures dust, pollen, lint, and mold spores.
• MERV 10–11 — Captures pet dander, finer particulate, and some bacteria. Recommended for pets, allergies, and facilities pursuing better IAQ.
• MERV 13 — Hospital-grade. Captures smoke, bacteria, virus carriers, and most airborne allergens. ASHRAE and CDC recommend MERV 13 where the HVAC system can support it.
