BNX MERV 13 AC Furnace Air Filter 16x25x1

This MERV 13 furnace air filter from BNX provides higher-efficiency particle removal for home HVAC systems while keeping airflow resistance low, according to the manufacturer. It fits nominal 16 x 25 x 1 inch housings and is intended for reducing pollen, mold spores, smoke and many microscopic particles during regular heating and cooling cycles.

Key Points

The filter uses electrostatically charged synthetic media to improve capture of fine particles without creating excessive drag on the system. It is manufactured in the United States by BNX Converting, LLC in Houston, TX, with a one-piece frame design that reduces material waste and uses recycled cardboard. The MERV 13 rating means it captures a high percentage of airborne particles commonly associated with allergies and indoor contaminants, and the product is listed by the manufacturer as comparable to MPR 1500–1900 and FPR 10. 🌿

Technical Specifications

• Name: BNX MERV 13 furnace air filter 16 x 25 x 1
• Actual size: 15 11/16 in x 24 11/16 in x 3/4 in
• Rating: MERV 13
• Construction: Electrostatic charged 100% synthetic pleated media
• Origin: Manufactured in USA by BNX Converting, LLC

Benefits

This pleated filter captures microscopic particles such as mold spores, pollen, pet dander, dust mite fragments, smoke and many aerosolized carriers of bacteria, according to the manufacturer. Because the media is electrostatically charged, filtration efficiency is increased while airflow resistance remains relatively low, which helps maintain HVAC performance. The single-piece frame reduces loose debris from the frame itself and uses sustainable materials to lower environmental impact. 😊

Usage Recommendations

Replace the filter according to seasonal needs and the level of indoor pollutants, watching for visible loading or reduced airflow. For homes with allergies or higher indoor particulates, the MERV 13 rating offers stronger particle control than standard fiberglass filters, but consider system compatibility because higher-MERV filters can increase strain in some older or poorly maintained systems. Also note that manufacturer comparisons to MPR and FPR values are provided by BNX as equivalencies and may vary by application.
