Too demanding filter; puts a strain on HVAC itself

I found out today that I should never have bought this MERV 16 filter due to the strain it puts on our HVAC system. (I learned this from a knowledgeable on-site service technician who checks our Trane system every six months.) These filters really stress the blower and burn out the system. The smaller filters (even the MERV 11) are actually designed to allow the system to be bled enough for all components to function properly and have their normal lifespan. So buy if you want, but in hindsightโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Multiple competitors
Cons
  • Safety

Make sure your system can handle the load of a finer filter

great for removing finer particles. But it may stress the old system's fan motor. Fits perfectly. Due to the effective filter, there may be a load on the fan. Make sure the system can handle the extra load. It is better to contact your HVAC service center before installation.

Pros
  • Oven Parts and Accessories
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Convenient filter change

One of our grandchildren has developed an allergy, also to our dogs. We have switched to this MERV-16 Allergy, Asthma and Viral Filter which says it captures 96% of virus sized particles. We took our dogs to their night kennels while our daughter and her family were here on Christmas Eve and our grandson showed no reaction while he was here or after they got home. It's also nice to have extra protection when dealing with the COVID-19 virus.

Pros
  • Stove filter
Cons
  • Disappear

Make sure your system can handle a high MERV filter pressure drop

My house was new in May 2019. The builder supplied a #210 MERV-11 filter. In January 2020, when a family member developed a health issue that could be caused by allergens, I switched to a #216 MERV-16 filter. Although we didn't notice any difference in air quality, I liked knowing that the filter was removing more particles from the air. I changed them every 4 months and everything seemed fine. Then, when the polar vortex hit us in suburban Austin, Texas last week, our system struggled to keepโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Building materials
Cons
