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., 24x24x1).
  • 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., 23.38x23.38x0.75" 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.

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

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

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does MERV 11 mean in air filters?

MERV 11 refers to the Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value, which measures how well a filter captures airborne particles. A MERV 11 filter traps up to 85% of particles 1.0–3.0 microns in size, including pollen, dust, mold spores, and pet dander—making it ideal for homes that need enhanced indoor air quality.

2. Is a 24x24x1 MERV 11 filter safe for my HVAC system?

Yes. MERV 11 filters are designed to provide strong filtration while maintaining proper airflow, which is safe for most residential HVAC and furnace systems. They strike a balance between high particle capture and system efficiency.

3. How often should I replace a 24x24x1 MERV 11 filter?

It’s recommended to replace MERV 11 filters every 60 to 90 days. However, if you have pets, allergies, or live in a dusty area, changing the filter every 30 to 60 days may offer better performance.

4. Can a MERV 11 filter help with allergies?

Absolutely. MERV 11 filters are effective at capturing common allergens like pet dander, dust mites, and pollen. Many allergy-prone households notice a significant improvement in air quality after upgrading to MERV 11.

5. What’s the difference between MERV 8 and MERV 11?

MERV 11 filters trap smaller and more airborne particles than MERV 8. While MERV 8 handles basic filtration (like dust and lint), MERV 11 adds protection against finer particles such as smoke, mold spores, and allergens—making it a better choice for cleaner, healthier air.
