Questions buyers ask

Is MERV 10 right for my home?

MERV 10 sits between the standard and allergy grades, catching more of the 1 to 3 micron range (mold spores, fine dust) than MERV 8. If your system is old or the filter slot is a 1-inch return grille, watch for whistling or a filter that bows; those are signs to step down a grade.
