Improve Indoor Air Quality
Protect your family and loved ones with clean indoor air quality at home. Aerostar filters are a simple and cost effective step towards a healthier home environment, free of airborne allergens and particles that can trigger various allergy and asthma symptoms.
Improve Efficiency and Reduce Cost
An Aerostar furnace air filter helps keep your HVAC unit working efficiently by removing dirt and reducing strain on the motor. When your unit runs properly, it consumes less energy, requires less maintenance and will have a longer life. These factors will have an impact on your utility bill and maintenance costs. It is recommended that you change the filter every 60 to 90 days during normal times of year but increase frequency to 30 days during peak summer and winter months when your unit is working the hardest.

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
Household conditions often determine the lifespan of a 16x25x4 air filter, but most air filters should be replaced every 6 to 9 months. More frequent changes may be needed depending on the amount of airborne contaminants and pet hair in your home and the overall air quality. Checking your air filter is especially important, especially if your home runs the HVAC system frequently.
MERV 11 filters are popular for residential use because they offer beneficial filtration. Homeowners who use MERV 11 filters should make sure their HVAC system is capable of handling this amount of filtration and energy consumption. Some older or low-powered HVAC units might find that MERV 11 filters increase strain on the blower motor. An experienced HVAC professional can help you pick the appropriate 16x25x4 filter for your system.
Pleated 16x25x4 furnace filters work properly for about 60 to 90 days before they need to be swapped out. Their lifespan can be affected by heavy HVAC usage during the summer and winter seasons. Check and change your furnace filter more often if you have pets or high dust levels in your home. If you’re sensitive to allergens, replace your air filter more frequently to reduce your triggers. If your airflow seems restricted or your filter is clogged, replacing it can prevent HVAC system damage.
16x25x4 air filters can sometimes be substituted for a 16x25x5 filter, depending on the filter slot size and if your HVAC system is capable of using a thinner type. A 5 inch filter may last longer than a 4 inch one before it needs to be replaced, and it improves filtration better because it has more surface area to trap contaminants. Before you switch, verify it's compatible with your HVAC system.
MERV 11 and MERV 13 filters have different capabilities when trapping airborne particles. MERV 11 filters are effective for most standard residential air purification in many homes. MERV 13 filters remove 98% of microscopic particles, including irritating allergens, pollutants, smoke, and bacteria.
Thicker 4-inch filters last longer and hold more contaminants before becoming clogged, creating better airflow and filtration. 1 inch filters have a lower capacity and need more frequent swap-outs to prevent system strain and achieve consistent airflow.
If your airflow seems restricted or dust accumulates quickly in your living space, it may be time to replace your filter with a fresh one. Clogged filters can make your HVAC unit work harder, so carefully examine your filter for dirt or discoloration to help you determine when to dispose of a dirty air filter.
