Air quality in Moncton
Moncton is the hub of the Maritimes. The Trans-Canada, Route 15 to Shediac and Route 2 towards Nova Scotia all meet here, and the city's role as a distribution and logistics centre means a steady flow of transport trucks along Wheeler Boulevard, Mountain Road and the industrial parks. Homes near those corridors and near the rail yards see more diesel exhaust and road dust than quieter streets in Riverview or the older parts of Dieppe.
Greater Moncton is also one of the fastest-growing urban areas in Atlantic Canada, and it shows. New subdivisions keep spreading north of the city, along Elmwood Drive and into Dieppe and Irishtown, and apartment buildings are going up downtown. That construction stirs up fine dust that loads furnace filters quickly, especially in brand-new homes where drywall dust is still settling.
Nature shapes the air too. The Petitcodiac River and its tidal mudflats, the wetlands around the city and the forests to the north bring damp springs, heavy tree pollen in May and June and grass pollen through the summer. Some homes on the outskirts still burn wood in winter, and in 2023 smoke from fires in Nova Scotia, Quebec and New Brunswick reached the area. A good pleated filter helps keep all of it out of your living space.
Moncton climate, homes & HVAC systems
Moncton has cold, snowy winters with frequent freeze-thaw swings and nor'easter storms, and warm summers that are noticeably sunnier and warmer than the Fundy coast. Spring can be long, wet and grey. The heating season typically runs from October to May, and summer humidity has made heat pumps and air conditioning far more common than they used to be.
The housing stock is a mix of older wood-frame homes in the West End and around Downtown, post-war bungalows and split-entries in Sunny Brae and Moncton North, and large newer subdivisions in Dieppe, Riverview and the north end. Many older homes were built with electric baseboards and have since added ductless mini-splits, while newer homes are more likely to have a ducted heat pump or electric furnace with an air exchanger. Those central systems, plus older oil furnaces, all use pleated filters.
MERV 11 for most homes, MERV 13 for new builds and smoke days
MERV 11 handles dust, pollen and pet dander for most Moncton homes. Use MERV 13 during wildfire smoke, during the first year in a newly built home, or for anyone with asthma or allergies. Ducted heat pumps with a media cabinet do well on a 4-inch filter.

- Spring: Put in a fresh filter as the snow melts and the long, damp spring begins.
- Summer: Run your heat pump to keep humidity down and keep a MERV 13 handy for smoke.
- Fall: Change the filter before the heat pump or furnace switches to heating in October.
- Winter: Check monthly and after big nor'easters when the house stays closed for days.
Which MERV rating is right for your Moncton home?
MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) measures how well a filter captures particles of different sizes under the ASHRAE 52.2 test standard. Higher numbers catch smaller particles. Most residential furnaces in Canada run well on MERV 8 to MERV 13 – here is how to choose:
| Rating | What it captures | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| MERV 8 | Dust, lint, pollen, mould spores and larger particles (3–10 microns) | Budget-friendly everyday protection, rental units, new-build dust |
| MERV 11 | Everything MERV 8 does plus pet dander, fine dust and some smoke (1–3 microns) | Most family homes, pets, seasonal allergies |
| MERV 13 | Fine particles down to 0.3–1 micron, including much of the PM2.5 in wildfire smoke | Asthma, allergies, wildfire smoke, newborns and seniors |
Not sure? Read our complete MERV rating guide. If you are moving up to MERV 13 on an older furnace, a deeper 2-inch or 4-inch filter keeps airflow healthy.
Popular furnace filter sizes in Moncton
These are common sizes in Greater Moncton furnaces and ducted heat pumps. Some air handlers and older oil furnaces use special sizes – we make them to order.
How often to change your furnace filter in Moncton
| Filter depth | Typical home | Pets, allergies or smoke |
|---|---|---|
| 1-inch | Every 1–3 months | Every 30–45 days |
| 2-inch | Every 3–4 months | Every 2 months |
| 4-inch | Every 6–9 months | Every 4–6 months |
| 5-inch | Every 9–12 months | Every 6 months |
In a new Moncton-area home, check the filter every 2–3 weeks for the first few months – construction dust builds up surprisingly fast. See the full filter changing guide.

Moncton air filter FAQ
What MERV rating should Moncton homes use?
MERV 11 is a great everyday choice. Use MERV 13 during wildfire smoke, in a new home with construction dust, or if someone in the household has asthma or allergies.
I have a ducted heat pump – how often should I change the filter?
Because a heat pump moves air for both heating and cooling, check a 1-inch filter monthly and replace it every 1–3 months. Thicker 4-inch filters usually last 6–9 months.
Do you ship to Dieppe and Riverview?
Yes. We ship to every address in Greater Moncton, including Dieppe, Riverview, Shediac and Salisbury. The shipping cost is shown below and at checkout.
My new home is dusty – will a better filter help?
Yes. Drywall and sawdust from construction can circulate for months. Use a MERV 11 or MERV 13 filter, check it every few weeks at first and replace it as soon as it looks grey.
Do mini-splits need filters?
Ductless mini-splits have washable screens in each indoor unit rather than pleated filters. Rinse them every few weeks. If you also have a ducted system or air exchanger, those need their own filters.
Can businesses in Moncton order in bulk?
Yes. We supply warehouses, offices, clinics and multi-unit buildings with pleated and commercial filters. Request a bulk quote.
How much does shipping to Moncton cost?
Orders to Moncton ship for $40 flat rate. Most orders arrive in 3–9 business days, with no customs or duties because everything ships from within Canada.
Can you make custom-size filters for my Moncton home or building?
Yes. Because we manufacture in Brampton, we can build non-standard and custom sizes to order – usually within about 3 weeks. Use our custom filter form or email info@canadianairfilters.com with your dimensions and MERV rating.
