Measure length × width × depth with a tape measure to find the actual size.
Round up each dimension to the nearest whole number to get the nominal size. Example: 19 1/2" x 19 1/2" x 3/4" in → 20x20x1 nominal.
Search by nominal size on our site for the best fit.
If the filter you buy doesn't fit, we'll send you a better size.
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.

We build every Filterbuy filter to deliver reliable 90-day performance—thanks to smart design and premium materials that do the heavy lifting. Here's what makes the difference:
More pleats = more surface area to capture dust and debris, keeping your air cleaner longer.
Pleats are magnetized to attract and trap microscopic particles—like pet dander, pollen, and smoke.
Engineered to resist warping in extreme temperatures and high humidity.
A layer of metal reinforcement keeps pleats evenly spaced and structurally sound—no sagging, even at high airflow.
Assembled with care. Built to perform. Ships fast, free, and reliably from our U.S. facilities.

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:
Efficiency:
High (MERV 8–13) – Traps more particles
Lifespan:
90 days – Long-lasting performance
Air Quality:
Excellent – Cleaner, healthier air
Materials:
Recyclable and durable
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.
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:
For most homes without pets or special air quality concerns. Great for general upkeep and energy efficiency.
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.
For households affected by smoke, pollution, or respiratory conditions, monthly changes ensure maximum protection.
