What happens if you put a furnace filter in backwards?

The filter should always be placed in the correct direction for the Air flow. Here is why.

What is the Best Furnace Filter?

Answer: MERV 13 for 1 inch filters or MERV 16 for Whole House Filters
The best furnace filter or AC filter depends on your HVAC system. MERV is a rating system designed to evaluate filter efficiency. The Higher the MERV Rating the more efficient the filter. If you have 1 inch return vent filters or a 1 inch filter in the furnace, a pleated MERV 13 filter is generally the highest rated filter available for your system. MERV 13 filters are high efficiency filters recommended for allergy suffers. MERV 8 is around the level that begins to protect air quality in the home.

If you have a system that uses a whole house filter you may have an option from MERV 8 up to MERV 16 depending on your HVAC system if you have a system that has an option of a highly efficient MERV 15 filter such as Bryan and Carrier offer in there Germicidal Air Purifiers.
