Filtrete 16x20x1 Air Filter, MERV 12, Certified Asthma & Allergy Friendly, 3-Month Pleated Electrostatic Filter, 2-Pack

Create a sanctuary in your home, starting with the air you breathe. Filtrete Allergen, Bacteria & Virus Air Filters are designed to capture unwanted particles from your household air, contributing to a cleaner and fresher home environment. These high-performance filters proactively capture dust, bacteria, viruses, and allergens, thus improving your home’s air quality. Filtrete Brand is the most recommended brand of HVAC Air Filters based on the US Filtrete Brand Health Tracker, Ipsos, June 2022.

The MPR of the filter determines the microparticles it can capture, including pollen, pet dander, smoke, bacteria, and viruses, from the air passing through it. For optimal performance of your heating & cooling system or HVAC system, it is recommended to change your home air filter at least every 90 days for 1-inch filters, and at least every 12 months for 4-inch and 5-inch filters. A dirty filter will slow down air flow and make the system work harder, wasting energy. Sign up for a filter change reminder program at www.filtrete.com/ChangeReminders.

Filtrete Filters are also enabled with Dash Replenishment. The sensor in the device tracks the life of your filters and automatically places an order for new filters when it's time for a replacement. These home air filters outperform fiberglass, washable, and non-electrostatic 3-month pleated 1 inch filters for your furnace, air conditioner, or HVAC system. Exclusively designed with Filtrete Brand 3-in-1 technology from 3M, they trap unwanted air particles while allowing cleaner air to flow through.

They attract and capture microscopic particles such as smoke, cough and sneeze debris, bacteria, and viruses, as well as large particles including lint, household dust, and pollen. The filters have a 54% small particle capture rate, including bacteria and virus-carrying particles, based on ASHRAE 52.2 testing for 0.3 to 1 micron particles from the air passing through the filter, which corresponds to the HVAC industry standard efficiency testing. They are also certified as asthma & allergy friendly (As outlined in report ASCR: 1246-01).
