3M filtrete 1900 - merv 13, but also twice the media as most merv 8's on the market (1,560 sq. in) so they do not clog up fast, or create static pressure build up any faster then the typical merv 8. Oh, but they do collect smaller particulate matter MUCH better than any merv 8 on the market (including particulates from wildfire smoke) - which equates to cleaner coils, less work for your motor etc, and FAR better overall air quality in your home. It's a no brainer. My residential HVAC heating/cooling system (Maytag) is close to 20 yrs old. Other than changing out a pressure switch yrs ago, not a single issue.
I change the 3M 1900 every 4-6 weeks in summer, every 6-8 weeks when snow is on the ground.
Thanks for sharing! 3M makes some great Filters, like 1900 Merv 13. BUT they also make some terrible ones. 3M has Merv 5 filters that are more restrictive than the Merv 13 you use 🤦♂️ thanks for comment 😎
@@hvac_double_agent Agreed, not all 3M filters are equal in quality or value.
I couldn`t hear you!
