Filtrete 14x25x1 AC Furnace Air Filter, Premium Allergen, Bacteria & Virus Filter

For nearly 25 years, Filtrete filters have been delivering cleaner air to millions of homes, establishing themselves as a leader in residential air filtration. Developed by 3M engineers to help capture airborne allergens, the Filtrete filter media is electrostatically charged to act like tiny magnets, attracting and capturing microscopic particles from the air as it passes through the filter. Today, a dedicated technical team continues to develop innovative filtration solutions for around the home, including air cleaning filters, room air purifiers, and water filtration products.

The Filtrete 1900 MPR Ultimate allergen reduction filter not only vastly improves the air quality in your home, but also keeps your air conditioning and heating systems running efficiently, saving on utilities and maintenance costs. This high-performance filter outperforms comparable non-electrostatic fiberglass and washable/reusable one-inch filters, as the electrostatic filter attracts and captures airborne dust, pollen, dust-mite debris, lint, mold spores, pet dander, smoke, smog, bacteria, particles that can carry viruses, and particles that can carry odors.

With each pass through the specially pleated filter, the air in your living space improves, making for a healthier home environment. The 1900 Microparticle Performance Rating (MPR) means this filter is able to capture large and small particles from the air, including household dust, pollen, dust-mite debris, mold spores, pet dander, smoke, smog, bacteria, particles that can carry viruses, and particles that can carry odors. This high-performance filter meets the American Lung Association of the Upper Midwest Health House Program's indoor air quality guidelines.

Electrostatic filters, including the 3M Ultimate allergen reduction filter, perform better than comparable non-electrostatic fiberglass and washable/reusable filters, as they attract and capture the small, allergy-aggravating microparticles that non-electrostatic filters cannot. With indoor air often being two to five times more polluted than outdoor air, the 3M Ultimate allergen reduction filter can make a significant difference in maintaining a healthier home environment by cleaning the air with each pass through the filter.

Moreover, this high-performance allergen-reduction filter keeps your heating and air conditioning equipment working efficiently by removing dirt and reducing strain on the motor. It is recommended to change the filter every three months, although the effectiveness and life of the filter can vary depending on the individual conditions in your home.

To ensure optimal performance of your heating and cooling system or HVAC system, it is advised to change your home air filter at least every 90 days for 1-inch filters. A dirty filter will slow down air flow and make the system work harder to keep you warm or cool, ultimately wasting energy. Consider signing up for a filter change reminder program that works for you, and enjoy the benefits of cleaner, healthier air in your home.
