I was buying 3M BLUE (2000 MRP) rated filters at Miejers for around $22 eveyr 3 months. Home Depot/Lowes/Menards only carried the 3M Purple (1900 MRP) rated. With 2 little ones at home that are "fragile" I wanted to make sure our air quality was as filtered as possible.

In any case decided to see if I could buy in bulk the 3M filters when I ran into the company above. After doing some research found out that via this company I could get better rated filters for CHEAPER than what I was buying via 3M. The 3Ms I was getting are rated MERV-11 to MERV-12.

Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV)

I ended up getting MERV-13 rated for about $8 an item!
I bought enough to last me 6 years (4 changes per year) so come inflation I'm set in this house for a while now.

You can buy the most expensive furnace filter on the market, but it's not going to work properly if you don't have clean duct works. Especially if you need the cleanest air for your kids.

We get the ducts cleaned/sealed once a year.

One design aspect of residential air conditioning and heating that isn't considered or built into newer homes is return filter placement. Most furnaces have a filter at the air mover, it boggles my mind is why don't designers put a filter at the air return intake grill. A merv 7 at the intake would make your merv 13 last three to four times longer and make your system stay cleaner longer.

Everyone should consider retrofitting your air return with a filtering grill, cheap easy single day or weekend project depending on your skills.

Humidity is much easier to control as well when there is less dust in the air.

Not a residential expert, just read alot..

The air we condition at work would blow your mind, no pun intended...

change any HVAC filter once a month any longer than that your killin' the efficiency for your system and puttin' undo stress on it.....90% of all residential system are short of return air and high dense filters compound the problem......30 years + in HVAC so take it or leave it....
