Filtrete 16x20x1 AC Furnace Air Filter, MERV 12, Asthma & Allergy Friendly

Your home should be your sanctuary, starting with the air you breathe. By proactively capturing dust, bacteria, viruses and allergens, Filtrete Allergen, Bacteria & Virus Air Filters help improve your home's air quality and contribute to a cleaner, fresher home environment.1 These high-performance filters help capture unwanted particles from your household air.

The Filtrete Brand is the most recommended brand of HVAC Air Filters based on the US Filtrete Brand Health Tracker, Ipsos, June 2022. The higher the MPR (Microparticle Performance Rating), the more microparticles - such as pollen, pet dander, smoke, bacteria and viruses - your filter will capture from the air passing through it.

For optimal performance of your heating & cooling system or HVAC system, it is recommended to change your home air filter at least every 90 days for 1-inch filters, and at least every 12 months for 4-inch and 5-inch filters. A dirty filter will slow down air flow and make the system work harder to keep you warm or cool, wasting energy.

Enabled with Dash Replenishment, the sensor in the device will track the life of your filters and automatically place an order for new filters when it's time for a replacement.

Filtrete Brand 3-in-1 technology from 3M helps these filters outperform fiberglass, washable and non-electrostatic 3-month pleated 1-inch home air filters for your furnace, air conditioner or HVAC system. The filters are designed to attract and capture microscopic particles such as smoke, cough and sneeze debris, bacteria and viruses, as well as large particles, including lint, household dust and pollen.

These filters are certified as asthma & allergy friendly (as outlined in report ASCR: 1246-01) and offer 54% small particle capture, like bacteria and particles that carry viruses (based on ASHRAE 52.2 testing for 0.3 to 1 micron particles from the air passing through the filter, which relates to HVAC industry standard efficiency testing).

In conclusion, Filtrete Allergen, Bacteria & Virus Air Filters provide a solution to improve the air quality in your home, helping to create a cleaner and healthier living environment.
