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

Acting as a protective layer, an 18x24x1 air filter catches airborne particles before they circulate throughout your home, improving air quality. Choosing the right filter and MERV rating balances air filtration with HVAC system performance. 

You should replace the 18x24x1 air filter in your home every 60 to 90 days so it doesn’t damage your HVAC unit. If you notice your air flow is restricted, if there’s dust accumulating in your HVAC system, or if your utility costs increase, these signs are indications your air filter needs to be changed. The size of your home or business and the number of smokers or pets in your home may accelerate the need for more frequent changes. Inspect your 18x24x1 filter regularly for the best results.

18x24x1 air filters are available with different MERV ratings, allowing homeowners to select one that works best for them.MERV ratings are the standard measurement tool recommended and developed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers to assess the level of filter efficiency. Consider the MERV vs. MPR vs. FPR rating of the filter you’re planning to buy. MERV 6 or MERV 8 filters provide basic filtering, while MERV 11 and 13 filters capture finer contaminants. When homeowners understand the differences, they can pick an air filter that creates better air quality. 

A MERV 11 or MERV 13 rated 18x24x1 air filter will minimize allergy and asthma triggers. When you upgrade and use these high-rated filters, they create a cleaner and healthier airspace for occupants in your home. They reduce the effects of pollen, dust mites, and mold spores so your family can breathe easier.

While a washable 18x24x1 furnace or air filter lasts longer than a disposable one and is more environmentally friendly, it requires consistent cleaning to ensure it generates effective airflow. 

Before you’re going to replace the air filter in your home and install a new 18x24x1 filter,  shut off your HVAC system’s electricity. Find the slot where the filter is located and check the arrow’s direction. Dispose of a dirty air filter in a trash bag so debris doesn’t scatter. Align the new filter’s arrows in the same way as your old one, and slide it into place. Make sure it fits snugly. Switch on your HVAC system power, and it should now run properly. 

18x24x1 air filters with carbon filters reduce lingering odors and smoke particles. These types of filters trap volatile organic compounds (VOCS) and neutralize gases and fumes for homeowners who want clean, odor-free air. 

Using an incorrectly sized air filter may allow dust and debris to bypass the filter through gaps. This may let unhealthy air particulates circulate in your home.  The wrong size filter can cause malfunctions in motors and fans, affect the lifespan of your unit, and increase your energy costs.Â
