Why it matters

The Honeywell MERV 11 1-inch 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.

This listing is the 20x20x1 size; order by the size printed on your old filter's frame.

The Honeywell listing names made in the USA, electrostatically charged media and 4 filters per box.

Questions buyers ask

Is MERV 11 right for my home?
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. 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.
