How to Measure Your Filter
Steps 1 & 2
Measuring Length and Width (L x W). (If your filter is not a square, the smallest measurement goes first).
Step 3
Measure the thickness (Depth) of your filter from front to back.
Step 4
Put Your measurements together (L x W x D).
Actual Size
A filter’s true dimensions.
Example: 19.75” x 19.75” x 1”
Nominal Size
Rounded numbers used by manufacturers.
Example 20” x 20” x 1”

Improve Indoor Air Quality
Protect your family and loved ones with clean indoor air quality at home. Aerostar filters are a simple and cost effective step towards a healthier home environment, free of airborne allergens and particles that can trigger various allergy and asthma symptoms.
Improve Efficiency and Reduce Cost
An Aerostar furnace air filter helps keep your HVAC unit working efficiently by removing dirt and reducing strain on the motor. When your unit runs properly, it consumes less energy, requires less maintenance and will have a longer life. These factors will have an impact on your utility bill and maintenance costs. It is recommended that you change the filter every 60 to 90 days during normal times of year but increase frequency to 30 days during peak summer and winter months when your unit is working the hardest.

About MERV, MPR and FPR Rating
The three rating systems were created by different organizations. MERV is the domestic and international Industry Standard rating system established by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers. The other two rating systems were created by 3M and The Home Depot, but all are rating the same filter.
MERV Rating (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value): As you have already learned, the MERV Rating is the primary rating system used in the industry, both domestically and internationally. Established by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers, MERV rates a filter’s ability to capture and hold particles and pollutants.
MPR (Micro-Particle Performance Rating): MPR Rating is a rating system developed by 3M. It rates the manufacturer’s Filtrete product line and their ability to capture airborne particles smaller than 1 micron.
FPR (Filter Performance Rating): FPR Rating is a rating system developed by The Home Depot for brands sold through their stores, including Honeywell. It utilizes a color code and number scale (4 to 10) that closely resembles the MERV rating.
What is a MERV Rating?
MERV ratings let you know the efficiency and level of filtration that an air filter can handle under normal circumstances. The higher the MERV rating, the finer the particles are that are filtered our of the air in your home. Many air filter retailers use MERV or a similar rating to rate their air filters.

FAQs
Improving indoor air quality starts with selecting the right air filter. If you use a pleated 14x25x1 filter, it will effectively remove microscopic pollutants. While newer HVAC systems can handle filters with high MERV ratings, when some older units do, they might restrict airflow. If your system is struggling with performance, switch to a moderately rated MERV filter to ensure proper circulation and filtration.
To maintain clean indoor air means you need to use a well-matched air filter that balances filtration with HVAC performance. A MERV-rated 14x25x1 AC filter is a safe, cost-effective, and reliable option that captures fine particles and, when changed regularly, prevents your HVAC system from getting dust buildup. A filter that properly purifies your air prevents excessive energy use, extends the life of your HVAC system, and keeps it running safely.
A MERV-rated 14x25x1 air filter is effective for about 60 to 90 days, though environmental conditions might make earlier replacement necessary. Your filter may get clogged or degrade faster if your home has pets, excessive dust, or smokers. You can keep your HVAC system running smoothly and ensure better air circulation if you inspect your filter often and replace it when it's dirty or discolored.
Finding the right air filter is essential so your HVAC system operates efficiently and produces clean, healthy air. Factory Direct Filters can provide a variety of filtering options to help you select the best MERV-rated filter for your needs that balances purification with system performance. When you select a 14x25x1 MERV 8 air filter, a 14x25x1 MERV 11 air filter, or a 14x25x1 MERV 13 air filter, your system will run smoothly and be protected from wear and tear.
Deciding between a MERV 8, MERV 11, or MERV 13 14x25x1 filter depends on the power your HVAC system provides, its capacity to handle specific filters, and your filtration needs. Lower-rated filters reduce contaminants, while higher-rated choices provide even better filtration. To ensure the best filtration, a MERV 13 rated 14x25x1 filter provides hospital-grade air purification to prevent bacteria, mold spores, allergens, pet dander, and smoke from affecting the airspace in your household. To ensure there are no airflow restrictions, make sure your HVAC system is compatible with the filter you plan to use.
High-efficiency 14x25x1 air filters with MERV 11 or MERV 13 ratings can minimize allergens and mold spores, making your airspace more breathable. Filters that have high MERV ratings prevent irritants from spreading and triggering respiratory health issues. When the filter fits correctly and is compatible with your HVAC system, it won’t compromise your airflow and will protect you from experiencing the symptoms of allergies and asthma, as long as you change it regularly.
