When it comes to HVAC systems, the size of the filter is an important factor to consider. Most common oven and AC filter sizes are 10 X 20 X 1, 14 X 20 X 1, 16 X 24 X 1, 18 X 30 X 1, 20 x 1, 16 x 25 x 1, 20 x 25 x 1, and 20 x 25 x 4.These filters are labeled with three-part dimensions, with the first number being its length, the second being its width, and the third being its depth or thickness. It's important to know the right size of filter for your oven or AC system in order to prevent frequent purchases and to ensure that you can change filters more often. If you're unsure of the size of your filter, you can always measure it with a ruler or any other measuring device.
Additionally, there is a helpful oven filter size chart available online that can help you make the right choice and avoid common mistakes. When it comes to standard sizes (also known as standard AC and oven filter sizes) and hard-to-find sizes, there is a list available with actual sizes and MERV options. The frequency of changing air filters in your home depends on the type of air filter you have in your home and the environmental conditions such as smoke, dust, or construction. If you have a system that uses a whole-house filter, you may have a choice from MERV 8 to MERV 16 depending on your HVAC system.
If you have a system that has the option of a highly efficient MERV 15 filter such as Bryan and Carrier offer germicidal air purifiers, then you should change your air filters more often. If you live in an older home with a non-standard size air return frame, you can use foam weatherstrip tape to slightly increase the dimensions of your preferred filter or order a custom-sized air filter. It's also important to note that stacking several smaller air filters on top of each other to place them in a larger air handler is not recommended. For those looking for an even better option than standard filters, there are seven times better than a standard filter for removing dust and other particles and have a longer service life than other filters (up to two more years).
Filter King offers hundreds of different filter sizes that can be used in various home systems, including your oven.
