Buying Guide: Choosing an Air Filter
Filter Types and Ratings
Filtrete filters come as electrostatic pleated styles, polypropylene filters and dust, pollen and pet dander models. Ratings appear in many product names as MPR numbers such as 700, 1000, 1500 and 1550, or as MERV numbers such as 8, 11, 12 and 14. Check your heating and cooling manual before choosing a higher rating.
Sizes and Thickness
Each filter lists its width, height and depth, such as 16 in W x 25 in H x 1 in or 20 in W x 20 in H x 2 in. Some models are sold as packs of 4 and others as packs of 2, so check how many filters each order includes before buying.
Allergen and Dust Models
Filtrete offers allergen-focused filters that help capture pet dander, pollen, dust and bacteria from your household air. Choose these if you want a filter aimed at allergy concerns, and match the size on your current filter when you order.
