MERV Filter

Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value, MERV, is a number from 1 to 16 that is relative to an air filter’s efficiency. The higher the MERV rating, the denser the filter and the more efficient it is at removing small particles in the air. However, a higher MERV rating creates more resistance to airflow, thus requiring additional energy to push air through the filter.  For the cleanest air, a user should select the highest MERV filter that their unit is capable of handling based on the limit of the unit’s fan power.
