About MERV, MPR and FPR Rating

The three rating systems were created by different organizations. MERV is the domestic and international Industry Standard rating system established by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers. The other two rating systems were created by 3M and The Home Depot, but all are rating the same filter.

MERV Rating (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value): As you have already learned, the MERV Rating is the primary rating system used in the industry, both domestically and internationally. Established by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers, MERV rates a filter’s ability to capture and hold particles and pollutants.

MPR (Micro-Particle Performance Rating): MPR Rating is a rating system developed by 3M. It rates the manufacturer’s Filtrete product line and their ability to capture airborne particles smaller than 1 micron.

FPR (Filter Performance Rating): FPR Rating is a rating system developed by The Home Depot for brands sold through their stores, including Honeywell. It utilizes a color code and number scale (4 to 10) that closely resembles the MERV rating.

What is a MERV Rating?

MERV ratings let you know the efficiency and level of filtration that an air filter can handle under normal circumstances. The higher the MERV rating, the finer the particles are that are filtered our of the air in your home. Many air filter retailers use MERV or a similar rating to rate their air filters.

FAQs

When you install a pleated 18x24x1 air filter with a high MERV rating, it improves air purification by removing microscopic pollutants. Some older HVAC units might have issues with higher MERV-rated filters and could experience restricted airflow, but newer systems can accommodate high-efficiency filters. If efficiency levels should drop, choose a moderately rated  MERV air filter so your HVAC system doesn’t struggle to process clean air.

Using a MERV-rated 18x24x1 furnace filter can be beneficial when you want clean indoor air, but you should first verify that your HVAC system will support it. Higher-rated filters trap more pollutants, however, if your airflow seems restricted, your HVAC unit will work harder when processing air, which could strain your equipment. You can safely choose a high MERV-rated filter as long as your system can handle it to purify the air.

The lifespan of a MERV-rated 18x24x1 air filter is about 60 to 90 days, but household conditions may determine if a replacement is needed sooner. The amount of dust in your home, pets, and exposure to smoke might reduce its effectiveness. Routinely inspecting it and consistently swapping it out if it's discolored or dirty will allow your HVAC system to operate smoothly, lessening system strain and creating better circulation. 

A properly rated filter removes particles from your airspace, creating smoother airflow and protecting your HVAC system from wear and tear. You can find various MERV-rated 18x24x1 filters conveniently online at Factory Direct Filters for your air purification needs that will balance air quality and make your HVAC system work more efficiently. If you select a 18x24x1 MERV 8​ air filter, a 18x24x1 MERV 11 air filter, or a 18x24x1 MERV 13 air filter, your system will function better and create a healthier living space. 

Selecting the right MERV-rated 18x24x1 filter for your household will help ensure your HVAC system can sustain its filtration. If your filter matches your system’s capacity, it will function properly while reducing the number of pollutants. MERV 8 18x24x1 and MERV 11 18x24x1 filters are reliable choices for trapping contaminants. If you need superior filtration, installing a MERV 13 18x24x1 filter will provide your home with hospital-grade air purification. Check that your HVAC system is compatible with the filter you choose to prevent airflow restrictions. 

An 18x24x1 AC filter​ minimizes triggers that cause allergies, filtering out mold spores, allergens, and pollutants before they circulate in your air. High efficiency filters with MERV ratings of 11 or 13 trap microscopic airborne irritants and generate healthier, more breathable air. Replacing your AC filter when it's dirty prevents debris buildup in your HVAC system that may compromise your environment.
