MERV 8 is the everyday-residential filter tier — captures dust, dander, pet hair, lint, and most pollen without restricting airflow the way denser MERV 13 filters do. Useful in homes with shedding pets or seasonal pollen issues. The 14x20x1 size fits common HVAC returns.
This is the right tier for most homes that don’t have an allergy sufferer in residence — protects the equipment and keeps the air reasonably clean without making the blower work overtime. Six filters at three-month changes covers a year-and-a-half.
