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.

How Often Should I Change a 16x20x4 Filter?

4″ media cabinets hold dramatically more filter media than 1″ or 2″ filters, so they run longer between changes—typically every 6–12 months. Fewer changes per year, less labor, and typically lower total cost of ownership. A 6-month or annual subscription matches the natural changeout cycle.
