Furnace filters are an important way to provide
healthy indoor air quality in your home. As your furnace runs in the winter, its air filter is constantly filtering airborne contaminants from the air that circulates through your home. They come in a variety of filtration levels, but many trap and remove dust, dirt,
pet dander and pet hair. Some higher-quality filters also remove smoke and viruses.
Because filters strain so many things from your air, they can quickly become dirty. A filter that is clogged with dirt, hair or other debris loses its effectiveness. That’s why it’s recommended to check your furnace filter monthly to see if it’s dirty, and change the filter every 30-90 days.
What furnace filter is best is different for everyone because each home has unique needs. Generally speaking, furnaces with a higher
Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) rating are better at trapping and removing airborne contaminants. Residential furnace filters usually have MERV ratings between 1-16, with higher values able to catch and remove the tiniest particles.
Should you use a furnace filter with the highest MERV rating possible? Maybe, maybe not. That’s because furnaces need to work harder to push air through filters with extremely high MERV ratings. For that reason, the best furnace filter is one that meets your needs but is not overly restrictive to airflow. While buying an air filter with an extremely high MERV rating may be necessary for households with family members who have certain health conditions or sensitivities, it may not be necessary for everyone.
The experts at Home Heating & Cooling are happy to evaluate your home’s needs and recommend the best furnace filter for your family.
