14 best a c filters

Product description

You run a tight ship at home, from floor to ceiling and everywhere in between. Unfortunately, ordinary home non electrostatic air filters aren’t super effective at capturing unwanted particles. The good news: The unique design of the electrostatically charged Filtrate Basic Dust and Lint Air Filter attracts and traps more particles from your air through your heating and cooling system, making quality control a breeze. With each cycle through the filter, your indoor air becomes a little bit cleaner.

From the Manufacturer

The Filtrete Dust Reduction Filter attracts and captures household dust and is ideal for high-velocity equipment. For residential use only.

• Outperforms fiberglass, washable and non electrostatic 3 month pleated 1 inches air filters for your furnace, air conditioner, or HVAC system
• Exclusive Filtrate Brand 3 in 1 technology from 3M traps unwanted air particles, while letting cleaner air flow through
• Attracts and captures large particles such as lint, household dust, dust mite debris and mold spores
• Filtrate 300 MPR (Micro particle Performance Rating) equates to MERV 5
• For optimum performance, change your home air filter every 90 days or sooner
• For residential use only
• The higher the MPR, the more micro particles; such as pollen, pet dander, smoke, bacteria and viruses, your filter will capture from the air passing through it

User questions & answers

Question:	Why do mine come out black after a relatively short amount of time
Answer:	Hello - Particles can darken the filters. For example, burning candles can cause blackening of the filter. We would be happy to further discuss this with you, please connect with us directly at 1-800-388-3458 M-F 8am-5pm CT.
Question:	The product description lists 2 sizes- 14x24x1 in large font and 14x14x1 in small font. Which size will I receive? What are the actual dimensions
Answer:	I received 14x24x1, but they were tough to install
Question:	Are these UV resistant
Answer:	Thank you for asking. No. If you are having a UV light installed into your system the light should not be able to reach this filter. If you have a UV light already installed and it is near the filter intake, we do not recommend using Filtrete Filters.
Question:	What is the merv rating
Answer:	Thank you for asking. These filters are a MERV 5.

Question:	In what country are they made

Question:	Discribtion says $4.00 a pack which leads you believe there are serveral filters included. I only received 2 filters so that makes them over

Question:	Is filtrete allergic to using the better known merv rating system
Answer:	I am not sure I fully understand your question. When it comes to merv rating you need to balance your filter needs/wants vs efficiency. The higher the merv the smaller the particles filtered, but the higher your power use as your air handler has to work harder to pull through the finer filter. According to the USGBC LEED standards, a minimum of merv 13 must be used for all recirculated air.Merv 6 = 300 mprMerv 8 = 600 mprMerv 11 = 1000-1200 mpr (this filter)Merv 13 = 1500-1900 mpr.I chose this filter because it seemed like a reasonable compromise of filtration, efficiency and cost.I hope this helps. :)

Your home should be your sanctuary, starting with the air you breathe.

The Filtrete 2200 MPR Elite allergen reduction filter not only vastly improves the air quality in your home, it also keeps your air conditioning and heating systems running efficiently, saving on utilities and maintenance costs. The electrostatic filter attracts and captures airborne dust, pollen, dust-mite debris, lint, mold spores, pet dander, smoke, smog, bacteria, particles that can carry viruses, and particles that carry odors. With each pass through the specially pleated filter, the air in your living space improves, making for a healthier home environment. This high-performance filter outperforms comparable non-electrostatic fiberglass and washable and reusable one-inch filters.

2200 MPR Elite Allergen Reduction Filter At a Glance: Electrostatic filter attracts and captures dust, pollen, and other particles that can be harmful to your health Improves air quality by cleaning air with each pass through the filter Keeps your furnace or air conditioner running efficiently Outperforms comparable fiberglass and washable/reusable filters Pack includes six filters

The Elite allergen reduction filter's fibers attract air-polluting contaminants (view larger).

By removing dust from the air, the filter also reduces strain on your furnace and air conditioner, helping to keep them running efficiently (view larger).

Electrostatic Design Captures More Particles

The 3M Elite allergen reduction filter is made with both positively charged and negatively charged fibers that act like tiny magnets to attract air-polluting contaminants. Since particles in the air are either positively or negatively charged, they are attracted to and captured by the filter and kept out of your living space.

Electrostatic filters, including the 3M Elite allergen reduction filter, perform better than comparable non-electrostatic fiberglass and washable/reusable filters, because they attract and capture the small, allergy-aggravating microparticles that non-electrostatic filters can't.

Improves Indoor Air Quality

With indoor air a surprising two to five times more polluted than outdoor air, the 3M Elite allergen reduction filter can make a difference in maintaining a healthier home environment by cleaning air with each pass through the filter.

The 3M Elite allergen reduction filter features a 2200 Microparticle Performance Rating (MPR), which means it is able to capture large and small particles from the air, including household dust, pollen, dust-mite debris, mold spores, pet dander, smoke, smog, bacteria, particles that can carry viruses, and particles that carry odors. This high-performance filter meets the American Lung Association of the Upper Midwest Health House Program's indoor air quality guidelines.

Improves Efficiency

This high-performance allergen-reduction filter also keeps your heating and air conditioning equipment working efficiently by removing dirt and reducing strain on the motor. It is recommended that you change the filter every three months. However, the effectiveness and life of the filter can vary and depend on the individual conditions in your home.

User questions & answers

Question:	How many pleats per foot
Answer:	I have 2 5T units in house that uses this filter and after changing many various Mfr filters which all seemed to work comparably well and about the same in last 21+ years, never once did I ever think about counting pleats. All I ever counted was the price! Did I miss something?? Bill
Question:	Filtrete has 40 pleats per foot. The more pleats, the more filter is being used in the product and the more surface is available for removing crap
Answer:	I swear, I know of another website that has masks that are cheaper, breathable, 100% cotton, cleanable, reusable, adjustable ear straps, and most importantly, they have filter bags. Masks for children are available. Hoping to help people in need. Gõõglẹ sẹạrch >> gõsbüy
Question:	does this product contain any fiberglass and can it be used in mask filtration
Answer:	The N95 masks are the equivalent to a MERV 16. Our MERV 13 filters are made with a 100% synthetic filter media with a wire backing glued in a cardboard frame. There are no harmful materials in the MERV 13 media itself. If you use the media it will not filter as small of a partical as the N95 but it help filter out 1.0–0.3 μm particle size. These filters can filter bacteria, droplet nuclei (sneeze), cooking oil, most smoke and insecticide dust, most face powder, and most paint pigments.
Question:	Excuse me .. what it merv means
Answer:	...Griffen, he was the original o.g, the triple diple o.g, the double o. capital .g, the Ompa Oprah talk show host of his time! HEEEERRRRRRREEEEE'SSSSS...MERV!! I'm just kidding! It stands for; "Minimum Efficiency Rating Value" There are 1-16 ratings with "1" being the worst and " 16" of course being the best! I tend to get the MERV11 in a 4" thick pleated filter because it traps everything I'm most worried about like dust, mites, pet dander, bacterias, allergic pollen and when my daughter cooks or burns something in the oven, kitchen smoke! Keeping all that "sheet" out of the distribution process of hot/cold air being deposited throughout the many registers in my house not only protects my family, but it helps to prolong the system and house by keeping it all clean and dust free!! Don't skimp when it comes to selecting that MERV rated filter or you may end up replacing more than just the filter. Read the specs on the system you own to be sure you're using the correct size filter and change it every six months or less depending on your environment.

User questions & answers

Question:	Where are they made
Answer:	When I had one of these I had to wash it with 409 and let it sit for about five minutes and then hit it with a shower head for pressure and it always came out beautifully

User questions & answers

Question:	Are these made with Fiber Glass
Answer:	I have not torn one apart to look.
Question:	Hi are these filters individually wrapped in plastic
Answer:	Not each filter. It does come wrap the 6 pack.
Question:	What is actual size of 14x14” filters
Answer:	14"x14"
Question:	does it restrict the air flow compared to regular filters
Answer:	Any increase in "merv" rating reduces the air flow. HVAC systems have a tolerance level. You should work within that level. You have to gage via technical measurement or manufacturer specifications. Everything is a compromise. More filtration is less flow. No filtration highest flow.

Allergies, pets, odors and smoking all can greatly affect the quality of your indoor air. Discount Filters offers many different types of air filters to help you breathe easier and choose the correct filter based on your specific needs.

Ensuring that your filter fits properly in your HVAC system means making sure that you have not only the right length and width, but also the thickness of your filter.

Most standard air filters are 1 - 2 inches in thickness. Whereas media filters are typically 3 to 5 inches in thickness. The best way to measure your air filter size is to get out the measuring tape and measure it directly. Also your current filter probably has the dimensions printed on the frame.

User questions & answers

Question:	which way does the filter face? Wire side with air coming in, or the other side coming in
Answer:	It appears to me ALL filters have an arrow printed on the edge of the paperboard frame. This indicates the direction the manufacturer wants the air to flow. The manufacturer decides weather the wire is on the top or the bottom. All the brands I have ever bought had the arrow.

User questions & answers

Question:	Order 6ea. 18 x 20 recieved 20 x 20. How should i correct my last oder
Answer:	no
Question:	Are these actually merv11 ? Not some thumbsticker with merv 11 on it
Answer:	Thank you for your interest. We sell authentic MERV 11 filters.
Question:	Why does your filter not fit
Answer:	The filter is smaller than 16x25x4...it says so right on the filter. It’s a very loose fit. And the filter is very cheaply made.
Question:	will MERV 11 restrict the air flow back thru the return air duct and cause a problem with my air condtioning unit
Answer:	Don't listen to these people. You should not put anything above a merv 2 on your return air duct. If in doubt contact the company that makes your unit and ask them and they'll probably tell you the same. My dad's been in the business of heating and air since before I was born and he's always hated these filters and said a heating and air unit is NOT an air filter for a house and shouldn't be used as one. Using this restricts the air flow, makes the thing work harder and thus reduces the efficiency and burns it out faster. If you want to filter your air i sounds funny but get a box fan and get a size 20x20x1 air filter and tape it or bungee strap it to the back of the fan and it'll filter your air. If you burn up a $15 fan it's no big deal compared to an expensive unit.
Question:	do they have metal wires as shown
Answer:	Yes, they have metal wires I have used them for years. Good price and filter. I change out every 3 months but if extreme hot weather with AC on a lot change out 2 month

NaturalAire MERV 8 Odor Eliminator with Baking Soda Air Filter

The NaturalAire Odor Eliminator with Baking Soda air filter neutralizes common household odors. It uses the power of baking soda to rid your home of offensive odors while the synthetic media reduces harmful allergens, dust, mold spores and more. The NaturalAire Odor Eliminator with Baking Soda air filter is suitable for a wide variety of HVAC systems and holds a MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) rating of 8, which means it is third-party certified to effectively reduce household dust and particle debris. MERV ratings provide a standard comparison of air filter performance. A higher MERV rating signifies greater efficiency and increased protection against airborne particles. Breathe easy knowing that Flanders provides the best quality product to keep your home’s air pure.

The Power of Baking Soda

Baking soda has been used for decades to eliminate lingering, offensive kitchen and household odors. NaturalAire Odor Eliminator with Baking Soda air filters utilize its incredible power for exceptional HVAC filters. The special qualities of baking soda gives it powerful antiseptic properties. Since baking soda is a safe, naturally occurring substance you can feel secure with the knowledge that the air in your home or office will be fresh, clean, and free of offensive odors.

Durability You Can Trust

The NaturalAire Odor Eliminator with Baking Soda air filter’s frame is bordered with 1 inch of recyclable, clay-coated, moisture-resistant molding for long-lasting durability and increased efficiency. The filter’s sturdy, wire-backed and pleated synthetic media stands up to the elements and to the temperature shifts put out by your HVAC system. Having a reliable NaturalAire Odor Eliminator with Baking Soda air filter lets you and your family breathe freely without worrying that your HVAC is under-performing due to an inefficient air filter.

Change Filters Regularly

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends that air filters for household HVAC systems be changed regularly. The NaturalAire Odor Eliminator with Baking Soda air filter carries a 90-day lifespan, and its pleated construction has a larger surface area for catching impurities and odors, providing fresh air for the longest possible amount of time before suggested replacement. Air filters changed regularly maintain sufficient airflow and keep HVAC units running at peak efficiency, which keeps your air clean and fresh longer.

Measuring Your Air Filter

Choosing the right size filter is important for keeping your home's air clean. An improperly sized filter will bend if it is too large or fail to catch impurities if it is too small. To determine the dimensions of your filter, measure the width, height, and depth separately in inches of the space where the filter will go in your HVAC system. This will give you three measurements. For instance, a filter with a width of 20 inch, a height of 20 inch, and a depth of 1 inch will give you a filter with dimensions of 20 x 20 x 1. Correctly measuring your filter will help you properly choose the right filter for your home.

The Importance of Changing Your HVAC Filter

When it comes to extending the life of your HVAC unit, changing the air filter is crucial. Clean air filters are essential for the overall performance and long-term protection of your unit – an old air filter reduces your HVAC unit’s air flow and decreases energy efficiency. This can damage the equipment, as a dirty or clogged air filter can lead to overheating or impair an evaporating mechanism in a cooling unit, further reducing air flow and causing your HVAC unit to run slower and less effectively, costing you money and leaving harmful and unpleasant pollutants in your home’s air. For cost-effective heating and cooling and the highest possible air quality, the NaturalAire Odor Eliminator with Baking Soda air filter is a choice you can feel secure about.

Question:	how long they last

User questions & answers

Question:	The description states "filtrete micro allergen defense filter, mpr 1000..." but the picture shows mpr 1550....which one are you buying
Answer:	What size filter are you looking for? This listing has 3 choices - both of the choices that have a description of mpr 1550 are actually called allergen reduction filters & clearly state that they are mpr 1550. I use one of these sizes & always get the 1550. If you need 16X25X4 it's called allergen defense filter mpr 1000. I couldn't find any other statement in the description that listed the mpr - so to me it's unclear. You might want to contact amazon customer support to verify the mpr, but also, the product can be returned if it's not what you were looking for.
Question:	What are the dimensions of the filters? The product image shows 4" deep (20x25x4), but the option is only 1" deep (20x25x
Answer:	The one I purchased was 20x25x4. If you only have option for 1 inch thick, then it sounds like they are out of the 4 inch version.
Question:	Never had an air conditioner or furnace so I have a rather silly question. How can I tell when the filter needs changing - dirty on the backside
Answer:	When it gets dirty on the air intake side. Don't wait for it to get caked with dust as this will cut down on air flow and make your furnace/air conditioner work harder to reach your desired temperature. Filter vendors often recommend changing 4 times per year, but your mileage may vary depending on how much you heat and cool and the cleanliness of the air being moved. I change about 3 times per year, but I could go to twice. Do you change your car filter? How dirty does that get? Be sure the actual size of the filter is correct for your blower. Filtrete nominal sizes and actual sizes differ. I got stuck with 4 filters I can not use. I bought the size 16x25x4, but the end of the filter has the actual size: 16 x 24 1/2 x 4 1/2. the 4 1/2" dimension is too large to fit.
Question:	what is the Merv Rating and how do you convert 1550 MPR to a Merv rating
Answer:	While I am not sure the Filtrete Allergen Reduction Filter is exactly the same as the Filtrete filter shown in the following commercial website, the table shows a MERV of 11 for a MPR of 1500. All the products seem to be 1" rather than 4." I don't know if that affects the MERV. http://www.iallergy.com/filtrete-air-filter-comparison.phpThe bottom of this commercial website page also describes the relationship of MERV, MPR, and FPR ratings for AC and furnace filters:http://www.bestfilters.com/AC-Furnace-Filters_c_605.htmlBased on my reading of the table, a MERV of 11 seems consistent with MPR of 1550.
