MERV 11

The sweet spot — captures dust, pollen, and pet dander without overworking your system

A $25 filter replacement is the cheapest maintenance you can do — and one of the most important.

MERV Ratings
Explained Simply

Not all filters are equal. Here's what to know for NorCal homes.

MERV 6–8: Basic filtration — stops large particles, low restriction
MERV 11: Recommended for most homes — captures dust, pollen, pet dander
MERV 13: Best for allergy sufferers — captures fine particles and smoke
Higher isn't always better — too-high MERV can restrict airflow on older systems
1-inch filters: Replace every 60–90 days in NorCal (dust season)
4-inch media filters: Can last 6–12 months with proper system maintenance
Dirty filter = restricted airflow = frozen coils = expensive repair
Check your filter monthly — takes 30 seconds

The Filter Is the
Cheapest Insurance You Have.

I see system failures every week that started with a filter that hadn't been changed in 8 months. The blower runs hot, the coil freezes, and suddenly a $25 filter became a $900 repair. We can help you stay on schedule and make sure you're running the right filter for your system.

Frequently Asked Questions

For 1-inch filters: every 60–90 days in NorCal, more often if you have pets or allergies. For 4-inch media filters: every 6–12 months. We'll tell you the right interval for your system.
MERV 11 for most homes. It captures dust, pollen, and pet dander without restricting airflow. MERV 13 for households with allergies or asthma. We don't recommend MERV 16+ for residential systems.
Yes. Restricted airflow causes the evaporator coil to freeze, which can damage the compressor. It also overworks the blower motor. A clogged filter is one of the leading causes of AC failure.
Absolutely. We'll note your filter size and type and can remind you when it's time to change it, or include it in an annual maintenance visit.
Yes — we bring the right filter for your system. No need to source it yourself.
