What's a MERV?

51st Ave
Our air filters are 16x25x5 Merv 8 Honeywell FC100A1029 (http://www.airmechanicalinc.com/honeywell_filter_fc100a1029_16x25_2_pack.html)
Air mechanical looks like they have changed around their website and this is the proper link now. http://www.replacementairfilters.com/air-furnace-water-filters/honeywell-fc100a1037-air-cleaner-filter.html

http://www.airmechanicalinc.com/Honeywell_Enviracare_Elite_F100-F150-F-25_Media_Air_Filter_Replacement.html (even though that is MERV 10. I had trouble finding MERV 8 for sale anywhere and Air Mechanical is directly linked from the Honeywell site as a trusted source of replacement filters.)
Ordering through Air Mechanical the filters cost $35 each and shipping is $30. I've got to find a local supplier.

| ? | Hopefully some changes were unrecorded |
| 3/30/2013 | Completely filthy. Went to Home Depot for replacements. |
| 2/21/2014 | Some dust bunnies, but not clogged. Used last spare, need to buy more. |
| 12/8/2014 | clearly dirty and time to replace. Used 16x25x1 since that is all that I could get from Home Depot. It doesn't fit perfectly and I should probably order the right filters... The 16x25x1 filters were about $20 each. |
48th Ave
I think the right part for this furnace is the 20x25x4 Merv 13:
