Choosing the Correct Filter Size

Nominal Size vs. Actual Size

The nominal size is a shorthand number rounded to the nearest whole or half inch (ex: 16 x 20 x 1), while the actual size is an exact measurement that depicts the filter's precise dimensions (ex: 15.50 x 19.50 x 0.75). All filters have both.

Measuring Your Air Filter

If your current air filter does not have a dimension listed on the frame, use a tape measure to record the width x length x depth to find the actual size. Then round these measurements up to the nearest inch to find a corresponding nominal size, which will be easier to locate when searching online.

Why should I change my air filter?

Will these air filters fit my system?

Most of our filters are universally compatible and will work with any furnace, air conditioner, heat pump, or HVAC system as long as you choose the proper size. If you see a specific brand name on a listing, make sure it matches your unit model.

How many air filters do I need?

This varies for every customer depending on specific needs such as the number of vents in your home. However, our selection includes package quantities ranging from 1 to 12 filters, so no matter your situation, we have you covered.

After finding the right size, turn off the power supply and remove the cover from your intake vent before taking out the old filter. Then insert your new filter to match the direction of air flow, replace
