When it comes to furnaces, the size of the filter matters. Not only can an incorrectly sized filter cause air flow to circulate around the filter, but it can also place excessive stress on your air conditioning system, damage it, and increase your energy bills. To help you find the right filter size for your furnace, Atomic has compiled a size chart for all brands of oven filters. Atomic's table, tested by experts, makes it easy to find the correct filter size for your oven.
70% of what Filterbuy sells is out of the 10 most common air filter sizes. Most people won't find the size of air filter they need at their local home improvement store. Each brand of furnace filter can have actual sizes that differ from the nominal size (the size of the label is sometimes a rounded size) that appears on the filter label. If the filter is too small, it will come loose and some of the air (and debris) will not pass through it.
If you have a system that uses a whole-house filter, you may have the option of MERV 8 to MERV 16, depending on your air conditioning system. If you have a system that has the option of a high-efficiency MERV 15 filter, such as those offered by Bryan and Carrier in their germicidal air purifiers, then you should consider using it. Filters are usually listed by nominal size, which is a rounded number based on the actual dimensions of the filter, which are called the actual size. How often you should change your home air filters depends on the type of air filter you have in your home and on environmental conditions, such as smoke, dust, or construction. The Lennox filter below shows the part number X0583 and the Honeywell part numbers, FC100A1029 and FC35A1001, which this filter can replace on the real filter (see the image of the Lennox filter below with the item number and size of the filter along with the compatible filters).At Atomic, we understand how important it is to get the right furnace filter size for your home.
That's why we've created a comprehensive guide to help you find exactly what you need. With our table tested by experts, you can trust that you will find the right OEM filter or save money on a compatible filter.
