Things to Know About Filter Sizes

Finger pointing to nominal size

Nominal Size

  • The rounded size printed on your filter or HVAC unit (e.g., 16x16x1).
  • Usually whole numbers to make identifying and ordering easier.
  • A label for compatibility—not the exact measurement.
Finger pointing to actual size

Actual Size

  • The true, trimmed dimensions of the filter (e.g., 15 3/4" x 15 3/4" x 3/4" inches).
  • Filters are manufactured slightly smaller so they slide into the filter slot without forcing.
  • If you don't know your nominal size, measure your filter to get the actual size, then round up to find the nominal size to search on our site.

Why the difference?

  • Nominal sizes simplify shopping and standardize categories.
  • Actual sizes ensure the filter fits properly inside your HVAC's filter rack.

How To Find Your Nominal Size When You Don't Know It

Round up each dimension to the nearest whole number to get the nominal size. Example: 15 3/4" x 15 3/4" x 3/4" in → 16x16x1 nominal.

Pro tips: If your filter is missing or damaged, measure the filter slot opening the same way.

Why Getting the Right Size Matters

  • Too small? Air can bypass the filter, reducing air quality and efficiency.
  • Too big? It won't fit—risking bent frames and airflow issues.
  • Just right? You get maximum performance, better filtration, and cleaner air.

What's a MERV Rating?

MERV stands for Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value—but don't let the technical name fool you. It's just a way to rate how well an air filter traps stuff like dust, pollen, pet dander, and smoke. The higher the MERV number, the more particles it catches—and the cleaner your air will be.

Pleated Filters vs. Fiberglass—What's the Difference?

Not all air filters are created equal. Pleated filters don't just last longer—they actually clean your air better. Here's how they stack up:

Pleated Filter

Pleated Filters

Efficiency:

High (MERV 8–13) – Traps more particles

Lifespan:

90 days – Long-lasting performance

Air Quality:

Excellent – Cleaner, healthier air

Materials:

Recyclable and durable

Fiberglass Filter

Fiberglass Filters

Efficiency:

Low (MERV 4 or less) – Misses small stuff

Lifespan:

30 days or less – Replace often

Air Quality:

Minimal – Basic protection only

Materials:

Thin, flimsy, and not recyclable

Pleated filters are a no-brainer—more protection, less hassle, and better air for your home.

How Often Should You Change Your Filter?

Changing your filter on time keeps your HVAC system running efficiently—and helps protect your lungs from dust, allergens, and airborne irritants. Here's how often to swap it out based on your needs:

Calendar Illustration Every 90 days

Every 90 Days

Standard Schedule

For most homes without pets or special air quality concerns. Great for general upkeep and energy efficiency.

Calendar Illustration Every 60 days

Every 60 Days

If You Have Pets or Allergies

Shedding fur, dander, and allergy triggers can build up fast. Changing your filter every two months helps keep the air fresher and symptoms at bay.

Calendar Illustration Every 30 days

Every 30 Days

If You Have Respiratory Concerns or Live in Smog/Wildfire Zones

For households affected by smoke, pollution, or respiratory conditions, monthly changes ensure maximum protection.

TL;DR Quick Answers

Filterbuy's 16x16x1 odor eliminator air filters are manufactured in the United States and designed to tackle the household odors your standard filter completely ignores — pet dander smells, cooking fumes, musty air, and chemical off-gassing. After manufacturing filters for over a decade and serving more than two million households, we've engineered our odor eliminator filters with activated carbon media layered into a high-efficiency filtration frame, so your HVAC system captures both airborne particles and the gases that cause persistent indoor odors simultaneously.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Filterbuy’s 16x16x1 Odor Eliminator filters different from regular air filters?

Filterbuy’s odor eliminator filters are infused with activated carbon, which captures and neutralizes odors caused by pets, cooking, smoke, and chemicals. They also include MERV-rated media that traps dust, pollen, and other airborne particles, offering both filtration and odor control in one.

Are these filters compatible with both HVAC and furnace systems?

Yes! Our 16x16x1 filters are universally sized to fit most standard home HVAC and furnace systems. Always check your system’s filter slot dimensions before purchasing to ensure a snug fit.

How often should I replace my 16x16x1 Odor Eliminator filter?

We recommend replacing the filter every 2 to 3 months, depending on factors like usage, indoor air quality, pets, or allergy concerns. Homes with heavy odor sources or high dust levels may benefit from more frequent changes.

What MERV rating should I choose for odor elimination?

While MERV 8 is suitable for basic odor control and dust, MERV 11 or MERV 13 is ideal for enhanced performance, especially if you're sensitive to allergens or live in a high-traffic or pet-filled home.

Do Filterbuy filters ship quickly and safely?

Absolutely. All orders placed through Filterbuy.com include fast, free shipping within the U.S., and each filter is securely packed to maintain quality and avoid damage during transit.
