Filtrete 16x20x1 AC Furnace Air Filter, 3-Month Pleated 1-Inch Electrostatic Air Cleaning Filter, 6-Pack

Filtrete 16x20x1 MPR 2200 Air Filter, produced by 3M, aids in capturing unwanted particles from your household air, contributing to a cleaner and fresher home environment. Designed with the exclusive Filtrete 3-in-1 technology, including a high MPR 2200 and MERV 13 rating, this AC filter will help pull in and capture countless microparticles, such as pet dander, smoke, bacteria, and viruses, while allowing cleaner air to flow through.

This HVAC filter captures up to 69% of small particles (1) and 78% of airborne virus particles (2), helping to make your air cleaner. It also captures large particles, including lint, pollen, and household dust. The filter is CERTIFIED as asthma and allergy-friendly (3). Use one of the six 3-month pleated 1-inch home air filters in your furnace, air conditioner, or HVAC system, and change the furnace filter at least every 90 days.

The Filtrete 2200 MPR Elite allergen reduction filter not only significantly improves the air quality in your home, but it also keeps your air conditioning and heating systems running efficiently, saving on utilities and maintenance costs. 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 carry odors. With each pass through the specially pleated filter, the air in your living space improves, making for a healthier home environment.

This high-performance filter outperforms comparable non-electrostatic fiberglass and washable and reusable one-inch filters. The Elite allergen reduction filter's fibers attract air-polluting contaminants, and by removing dust from the air, the filter also reduces strain on your furnace and air conditioner, helping to keep them running efficiently.

The 3M Elite allergen reduction filter is made with both positively charged and negatively charged fibers that act like tiny magnets to attract air-polluting contaminants. Since particles in the air are either positively or negatively charged, they are attracted to and captured by the filter and kept out of your living space.

With indoor air being surprisingly two to five times more polluted than outdoor air, the 3M Elite allergen reduction filter can make a difference in maintaining a healthier home environment by cleaning air with each pass through the filter. The 2200 Microparticle Performance Rating (MPR) means the 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 carry odors. This high-performance filter meets the American Lung Association of the Upper Midwest Health House Program's indoor air quality guidelines.

The high-performance allergen-reduction filter also 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, though the effectiveness and life of the filter can vary depending on the individual conditions in your home.

Filtrete filters have been delivering cleaner air to millions of homes for nearly 25 years, becoming 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 to attract and capture 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.
