Depends on the specific filter. 3M add more pleats which means more filter area.

The MERV 13 in the 3M brand has a lower pressure drop (air flow resistance) than their MERV 5, 7, 11, and 12.

3M MERV 5 - 0.23 pressure drop
3M MERV 7 - 0.24 pressure drop
3M MERV 11 - 0.23 pressure drop
3M MERV 12 - 0.22 pressure drop
3M MERV 13 - 0.19 pressure drop

It really depends on the HVAC system and what it's designed for. Lower end and older ones are typically not built to handle the higher MERV filters. Newer and better ones are built to handle it without issue, though. For example, my HVAC air handler has a sticker on it that specifically says:

Nice deal. I only use MERV 11 filters during the high pollen dates in upstate NY. I use a MERV 11 from April to July then MERV 8 the rest of the time. Seems to help keep allergens at bay.

I had a newer name brand unit. I only used the premium filters. Changed every 3-4 months. Lasted all of 5 years and the inside cracked. The repair guy said it was my premium filters. He recommended using the cheap ones for most of the year and then once in spring throw in a premium one but just for 2 months and then go back to cheap ones. It's been 5 years and no issues.

Any leads on where to get a good deal on a 4" width? Specifically I have a 16x25x4 Lennox unit.

Seems like a regular price for this type of filter. Also, don't go over MERV 7 or 8 unless you like to reduce efficiency and lifespan of your air handler blower.

These fit the standard "20" box fan sold at Walmart, Home Depot, etc. I stopped using the expensive "home air purifiers" years ago and just rubber band these to the box fan. Doing this YOU choose the filtration ability you want AND even better, this way costs ALOT less than air purifier systems filters!
Add to that, the fan costs $20 and replacing it is easy

Air handlers aren't supposed to air purifiers. You're just making you system work harder.

This works great but it is unsightly. Part of the benefit of buying expensive air purifiers is not having to hide it when company comes over.

Oh No...here comes the AC know-it-alls explaining the good, the bad, and the ugly of MERV's, overworking your air handler, etc... Every home air filter thread on SD gets infected with them...

Would a MERV filter help?
Maybe MERV Griffin would help.

Wow! Only quarter of percent of pressure drop, it's really nothing for your AC.

And most of esteem audience here had me convinced better filters are bad..
do you understand the rating means? don't just look at the numbers and say they were doing nothing. BTW, I don't understand so I can't tell if they are good or bad. Just like dB, 3dB looks like a small increase.

I have a fan in my window. Putting a filter on the screen side of it gives privacy and filters the air coming in.
