Frequently Asked Questions

What does MERV 8 mean for my home's air quality?expand_more
A MERV 8 rating signifies that the filter is designed to capture 90% of common airborne particles, including dust, pollen, lint, and mould spores. This level of filtration is effective for general household use, helping to reduce common allergens and improve the air circulating through your HVAC system without significantly restricting airflow.
How often should I replace these Filterbuy 12x16x1 filters?expand_more
For optimal performance and to ensure your HVAC system runs efficiently, we recommend replacing these filters every 90 days. However, this can vary based on your home environment; in households with pets or high dust levels, more frequent replacement might be necessary.
Are Filterbuy filters true to size, or will they leave gaps?expand_more
User experiences are mixed. While Filterbuy provides precise actual dimensions (11.50" x 15.50" x 0.75"), some customers reported filters being slightly undersized, potentially creating small gaps. Others found the fit to be perfect. We recommend measuring your existing filter slot and checking the filter upon arrival to ensure a snug fit.
Why is it important to have a MERV 8 rated filter?expand_more
A MERV 8 filter provides a good balance between capturing a substantial amount of common airborne contaminants and maintaining adequate airflow for most residential HVAC systems. Higher MERV ratings can sometimes restrict airflow too much for standard systems, potentially reducing efficiency and increasing wear and tear.
Can these filters help with pet dander and allergies?expand_more
Yes, the MERV 8 rating is effective at capturing pet dander, which is a common allergen. It also captures other particles like pollen and dust mites, contributing to a healthier indoor environment for individuals with allergies or respiratory sensitivities.
What's the difference between an HVAC filter and a room air purifier?expand_more
HVAC filters, like the Filterbuy, clean the air that circulates through your entire home via the heating and cooling system. Room air purifiers, such as Evalit or AIRROMI units, are designed to clean the air within a specific room and often use different filtration technologies like HEPA for more targeted purification.
Is it worth paying more for higher MERV rated filters?expand_more
For most homes with standard HVAC systems, MERV 8 filters offer excellent value and sufficient filtration. Higher MERV ratings (e.g., MERV 11-13) can capture finer particles but may require system adjustments and are often more expensive. Unless your HVAC system is specifically designed for higher MERV filters or you have severe allergies, MERV 8 is usually the most cost-effective choice.
