Why it matters
The Aprilaire MERV 11 Furnace Filter is a pleated furnace and air conditioner filter rated MERV 11.
MERV 11 is the usual allergy upgrade: it catches most pollen, pet dander and mold spores, and part of the 1 to 3 micron range.
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.
The Aprilaire listing names 1 filters per box.
