Choosing the Correct Filter Size

stack of green frame 16x20x1 filters showing nominal and actual size being organized by employee

Nominal Size vs. Actual Size

The nominal size is a shorthand number rounded to the nearest whole or half inch, normally in a larger font (ex: 16 x 20 x 1). Whereas the actual size is an exact measurement, normally in a smaller font, 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.

  • To maintain a healthy lifestyle, as breathing dirty air can put you at risk to develop asthma, allergies, and other respiratory ailments. Plus, old filters can cause system defects which may lead to unwanted expenses via energy costs and repairs.

  • We generally recommend replacing your filter every 90 days to keep your system running efficiently and air clean. But this is subject to change based on filter size and variable factors for pet owners, allergy sufferers, homes with children, etc.

  • 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. But if you see a specific brand name on a listing, make sure it matches your unit model.

  • This varies for every customer depending on specific needs such as the number of vents in your home. However, our selection includes package quantities that range from 1 to 12 filters, so no matter what your situation may be, we've got 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 just insert your new filter to match the direction of air flow, replace the cover, and turn the power back on.

So long 3M and your $20 filters! Hello FilterBuy!!!! These are made better than I expected!!!! I bought the 16x25x1, I read a lot of negative reviews saying a person got cut etc. I had my husband open the box, and film it just in case. The filters came in shrink-wrapped and packed safely in a large box. Only one of the filters had a little dent which is nothing to worry about. My furnace is brand new I would not put something that will cause a ridiculous amount of damage to my $10,000 brand new freon free units.[ For those of you who do not know this freon has been banned by the United States they are no longer making it nor are they importing it from anywhere.] [Companies are allowed to carry and use up what remains in their warehouses, however be prepared to pay an obscene amount of money for it. [The freon in cars is not the same and has not been addressed,nor appliance's, hence my new units.] These filters are sturdy the wires are not razor sharp the wire mesh is made as expected. You would have to take the filter apart to get to the metal mesh piece that keeps the filter together while the intake and the outtake work in tandem. I used to buy 3M filters and those cost a pretty penny I found these to be a lot better made A whole lot easier to fit and the price is absolutely amazing! I don't know how a reviewer said it left a deep cut unless you remove the metal mesh with the express purpose to gouge or cut yourself I cannot imagine that anyone using these filters for nothing other than what it is intended for. My old unit used the same size filter I never had a problem with any of them. The filters are as described and then some they are very well-made and if I were to buy the allege "better brand" or rather a more expensive one I would pay about $35 for just one. Everyone is going to have their own opinion about these filters and I respect that. I have used this size for over 15 years I have not had an accident removing an old filter to replace with a new thank God. I will definitely re-order these when I am done with the ones that got here today. I'm still ridiculously giddy at the great quality and how well made these are. My husband removed the old 3M filter I compared it with FilterBuy and was taken aback at how much better the quality and sturdier FilterBuy is. I set the 3M next to the FilterBuy, I just noticed the 3M is so flimsy, I can't imagine why I bought it, the dust would have gotten caught on the out take. A huge danger for me since I have asthma and COPD. In pics 5 and 6 I'm showing the new 3M on the left versus the new FilterBuy on the right. Keep in mind the 3M filter does NOT make a back mesh which results in the dust etc coming back on the return. In the last 2 pics you can see a little dent on the new filter, it slid right in without a problem. Tiny dent DOES NOT compromise the efficiency of the unit or its other counter parts. A little dent, ding,dong,dang, or pleated crease is not a major issue, a little 'scooch' 'scrunch' 'jiggle' and teeny tiny 'shove' will fix that right up. Bottom line, we got more bang for our buck with FilterBuy. Finally, here's where I say......THANK GOD FOR AMAZON PRIME.... they bring the solution to you in one day, without the hassle of standing in line!

If I go to the hardware store to get these I pay for two for allot more than this pack of them. I can only get this size from the hardware store until I found them on Amazon what a great bargain they are. They fit perfectly and last just as long.I have to change it more often do to pet hair. Being able to get these at this great price is a Godsend.

This size filter is somewhat unusual and my system only fits filters that are EXACTLY the right size. Since we live in Florida and use either heating or cooling year around, it's important to me to change the filters every two months.Now that I've found the exact sized filter and it's always in stock, I don't have to scrounge around to find what I need and over buy when I do. I simply order the Filterbuy 16.38x21.5x1 Air Filter MERV 8 Dust Defense (6-Pack) annually and I'm good for the year.

I've been using these filters for 18 months now with no issues. They are every bit as good as the name brand filters at a better price. Would purchase these again.
