While HVAC techs typically recommend against MERV 8+, there "is a mountain of owner testimony that MERV 11, 12, and even 13 filters have worked just fine in their systems for years. As well, an often-cited comprehensive independent test of MERV 8 to 13 filters' effects on HVAC airflow and energy consumption (a proxy for how hard the equipment is working) concluded that even "if no accommodations are made for the greater pressure drop of high-MERV filters, air flow and energy penalties are not likely to be severeāat least, not until the filter is loaded with dirt."
Thus manufactures and techs are probably more on the cautious side to be extra sure. Again, don't let it get loaded with dirt before changing.

Also, furnaces with ECM motors as opposed to PCM motors are able to respond to increasing flow restriction by maintaining a fairly constant air flow rate, but at the expense of increased power and increased energy use.

Thanks for the info

they are Pleated and MERV 8 on the product page. Which is equivalent in specification to this filter.
