MERV Rating Quiz: Find the Right Air Filter for Your Home or Building

MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) is the industry-standard scale for how well an air filter captures dust, pollen, pet dander, smoke, and other airborne particles. The right MERV depends on your space, occupants, and HVAC system — too low and you miss particles, too high and you can choke airflow, raise energy use, and shorten equipment life. Answer a few quick questions below and we’ll recommend the ideal MERV rating for your home, office, retail space, warehouse, school, clinic, or multi-family property.
