What are MERV 8  Air Filters & Furnace Filters?

Minimum Efficiency Report Values (MERV) 8 air and furnace filters are a common choice for residential households. The MERV 8 rating displays the filter's ability to trap particles. A MERV 8 filter can trap about 80% of airborne particles. When choosing a filter you’ll want to pay attention to the MERV rating as well as the size of the filter. There is not a universal size for a filter so you’ll want to choose the right size. 

Air and furnace filters help circulate clean air into our environments, so we can breathe cleaner air. If you have animals that shed or have allergies, these can be examples of reasons you might want a filter with a higher MERV rating. The higher the MERV rating, the more capability the filter has to trap particles, and smaller particles at that. MERV ratings can range from 1 to 20.

What Is The Difference Between MERV 6 And 8?

A MERV 8 filter has greater capability to trap particles, and smaller particles, from entering the air you breathe.

This is the primary difference between a MERV 8 and MERV 6 air filter. However, both can be a suitable option for residential homes.

There truly is no harm in opting for a filter with a higher MERV rating, so when in doubt you can go with the better filter.

Filters are to be replaced regularly, so if you want to change the type of filter you’re using, you can easily do so. In addition, better filters may need to be changed less often.

So while they may cost a little more on the front end, they can help you save time and money down the road. According to the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioner Engineers (ASHARE), most households utilize a MERV 8 air filter.

How Often Should MERV 8 Air Filters Be Changed?

Changing your MERV 8 air filter on a regular basis is important. The frequency that’s most appropriate for you to change your air filter can vary depending on lifestyle, weather elements, and other factors. In most cases changing an air filter every 3 to 6 months is suitable for maintaining a clean filter.

Since you usually don’t see your air filter on the regular, it can be helpful to set a reminder or set your new filters to autoship so their arrival can serve as your reminder.

Neglecting to change your air filter can lead to the following issues. 

  • Poor airflow: A dirty filter can slow or block airflow through vents. This can cause the HVAC system to work harder and potentially fail sooner. 
  • Increased electric bill: Dominoing off the first issue, if your HVAC is working harder you may see your electricity bill increase. 
  • More allergens: Filters help keep the air you and your family breathes clean. Dirty air filters can cause particles to blow into your space or fail to filter air effectively.Â
