MERV notes

Your furnace manual lists the filter's dimensions, not its MERV rating. Higher-MERV filters restrict more air. Manufacturers such as Carrier recommend keeping the clean-filter pressure drop under 0.2 in. w.c. (ideally under 0.1). Lennox warns that an over-restrictive filter can trip the high limit in winter and freeze the coil in summer. If you want MERV 11–13, a 4-in. media cabinet is the usual route. Ask an HVAC tech to check static pressure. Nominal sizes are rounded: a filter labeled 16 x 25 x 1 actually measures about 15.5 x 24.5 x 0.75.
