- Is MERV 8 good enough for a home with allergies?
- MERV 8 catches dust, lint and pollen but not most fine particles or smoke. Households with allergy or asthma sufferers usually step up to MERV 11 or 13, accepting lower airflow.
- How often should I change a 24x24x2 filter?
- Most homes change a 2-inch filter every 2 to 3 months. Homes with pets or heavy dust may need monthly changes; a six-pack then lasts about half a year.
- Will this fit my furnace?
- Only if your filter slot takes a nominal 24 x 24 x 2 inch filter. Actual sizes run slightly under nominal, so measure the old filter and the slot before buying.
- Is $74.94 a good price for six filters?
- That is about $12.50 per filter, in line with typical MERV 8 pricing for this size. It is not a clearance-level deal, but it is a fair bulk price.
- Does a 2-inch filter restrict airflow more than a 1-inch one?
- No. The extra depth adds pleat surface, so a 2-inch MERV 8 filter typically flows as well or better than a 1-inch filter of the same rating.
