Cape Coral & Fort MyersAdvanced Filtration Technology
Six innovations that make Filtrete the #1 choice for home air filtration — engineered by 3M to capture what other filters miss.
3-in-1 Electrostatic Technology
Electrostatically charged fibers attract and capture airborne particles like a magnet, pulling allergens, dust, and microscopic contaminants out of the air flowing through your HVAC system.
MPR Rating System
Microparticle Performance Rating (MPR) was created by 3M to exceed industry standards. MPR measures capture of the smallest airborne particles (0.3–1 micron) that MERV doesn't fully address.
Allergen Defense
Captures up to 95% of large airborne particles including pollen, dust mite debris, mold spores, and pet dander — critical for Florida homes where allergens circulate year-round.
Bacteria & Virus Filtration
Advanced MPR 1900 filters capture bacteria, virus-carrying particles, and smoke — certified asthma & allergy friendly by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.
Smart Air Filter Technology
Bluetooth-connected smart filters with the Filtrete Smart app monitor airflow and track filter life in real time. Get notifications when it's time to change your filter.
Refillable Filter System
A reusable frame with refillable filter inserts — same trusted Filtrete filtration with less waste. Simply replace the filter media and reuse the frame.
How Filtrete Filters Protect Your Home
See how 3M's electrostatic technology captures microscopic allergens, dust, pollen, and bacteria as air flows through your HVAC system. In Southwest Florida, where AC runs nearly year-round, the right filter makes all the difference for your family's air quality.
