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. Lennox has a MERV 16 Filter option as offer in the Lennox Pureair System which is among the highest efficiency residential filters available and is also recommended by Lennox as an upgrade to specific Carrier, Trion Air Bear, and Honeywell systems.
