Select and Grab The Filter You Need
What Size Filter Do I Need?
- Ensuring Compatibility: Knowing both the nominal and actual sizes is essential for ensuring the air filter fits perfectly within your HVAC system. An incorrect fit can lead to air bypassing the filter entirely, rendering it ineffective at cleaning your indoor air.
- Optimal System Performance: A filter that fits snugly without obstructing airflow contributes to the efficient operation of your HVAC system. Understanding the distinction between nominal and actual sizes helps prevent the common mistake of selecting a filter that’s either too tight or too loose.
- Preventing Damage: Using an air filter of the wrong size can not only compromise air quality and system efficiency but also potentially damage your HVAC system. An overly tight fit can restrict airflow, causing the system to work harder and increasing the risk of overheating and damage.

What MERV Rating Should I Use?
Ever met someone who says anything and everything that pops into their head? We sometimes say those people “lack a filter.” Using an air filter with a low MERV rating is kind of like hanging out with that person. It can get a little embarrassing at times. The higher the MERV rating the more protection you and your HVAC system will get from micro-particles that carry allergens, viruses and bacteria throughout your home.
Think of it as putting a dust mask on your Furnace. Would you want a cheap dust mask that you can literally see through? Or something with tighter knit fibers that looks like it could catch more of the fine particles? The higher the MERV rating the tighter knit the fibers are and the more efficient they will be at removing the particles that get us sick. Keep reading to find the real answers so you never have to ask “what MERV rating should I use”, again.
Flimsy fiberglass air filters allow all sorts of inappropriate things to fly. But when you go higher quality, you’re faced with more sophisticated options and ratings. Luckily, you’ve come to the right place to learn more about air filter MERV ratings, so you’ll always have just the right amount of filter. And you won’t have to worry about your HVAC system going commando ever again.
