- Is MERV 13 too restrictive for my furnace?
- It is fine for most modern systems, but older furnaces with PSC blower motors may lose airflow. Check your system's filter rating or ask an HVAC tech before switching from MERV 8.
- How often should I change it?
- Every 1 to 3 months, or sooner with pets, heavy dust or wildfire smoke. The 2-pack covers two changes.
- Does it capture viruses?
- Filtrete markets MPR 1900 as capturing bacteria and viruses, but a filter is not a substitute for ventilation or air purifiers. It does capture fine particles down to the MERV 13 range.
- Will it fit a 14x24x1 slot?
- Yes, it is a nominal 14x24x1 filter. Actual size is slightly smaller, as with all nominal filters, so measure your slot if it is tight.
- Is this a good price?
- At $45.57 for two at Walmart as of November 7, 2026, it is about $22.79 per filter, in line with other MERV 13 filters this size. Stock up when it dips below that.
