Always check your unit’s exact filter size. Choose a perfect fit for clean air, better efficiency, and a longer system life.
Make sure the filter size is appropriate for your setup. The size is printed on the side of your current filter's cardboard frame. If not measure the existing filter or the filter slot itself.
