Why it matters
The Aerostar MERV 6 1-inch Furnace Filter is a pleated furnace and air conditioner filter rated MERV 6.
MERV 5 is a basic dust-and-lint grade: it protects the blower and coil but does little for fine particles.
As general guidance, check a 1-inch filter monthly and change it every one to three months; deeper 4- and 5-inch filters usually last six to twelve months.
This listing is the 20x25x1 size; order by the size printed on your old filter's frame.
The Aerostar listing names 6 filters per box.
Compared with the Aerostar Pleated MERV 8 Air Filter: MERV rating 6 here vs 8.
