What is a MERV Rating?
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.
MERV Breakdown:
- 1-4: Minimal filtration, captures large particles like dust and lint.
- 5-8: Moderate filtration, suitable for most residential applications, effective against mold spores and pet dander.
- 9-12: Improved filtration for allergens, smoke, and fine dust.
- 13-16: High-performance filtration, used in healthcare or cleanroom environments.
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 are air filters?
Clean air filters can improve the efficiency of your HVAC system and the air you breathe. Air filters are barriers that collect dust, allergens, and other materials that would otherwise enter the air you breathe.
When do I need to change my air filter?
Since there may not be obvious signs that your air filter needs replacement, improve your maintenance routine by setting a reminder. Air filters should be changed every 90 days, give or take. Recommendations can vary based on location, pets, age of equipment, and other factors. Changing an air filter is a simple task that most can do on their own. To determine the size of your air filter, you can remove the existing filter and locate the dimensions. You can also refer to the system’s owner’s manual.
Reasons why you should change your air filter regularly:
- Improve air quality: Dirty air filters can trap air and moisture which can contribute to the growth of mold and bacteria. Eventually, these microbes can spread into the HVAC system, and the air you intake. By ensuring your air filter is changed regularly, you can improve air quality and reduce the risk of mold and bacteria.
- Promote a longer lifespan of your HVAC system: A dirty air filter can cause your HVAC system to work harder. In addition, a dirty air filter can prevent air from moving through. By maintaining a clean air filter, you can promote greater efficiency and a longer lifespan for your HVAC system.
- Save on energy costs: Continuing on the previous benefit, a clean air filter can help your machine operate more efficiently. As a result, you keep your utility bill as low as possible.
- Maintain consistent air temperature: Dirty air filters can interfere with temperature signals. This can cause your HVAC system to start or stop when it’s not supposed to, making it hard to maintain a consistent air temperature.
- Prevent dirty air ducts: Dirty air filters can increase the chance of pollutants building up. The cost and level of effort of changing your air filter compared to cleaning polluted ducts is much more manageable.
When should you change your filter?
-
Asthma or allergies
If someone in your home has asthma or allergies you should change your filter every 6 weeks.
-
Pets
Change your filter every 2 months if you have pets to avoid shedding and odor build up.
-
Young children
Keep your air clean and safe for young children by changing your filter every 2-3 months
