16x20x1 MERV 8 Air Filter, 7 Pack Replaceable Filter Media

Importance of MERV Ratings and Filter Thickness in Air Filters

Understanding the significance of MERV ratings (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) and the thickness of air filters is crucial for ensuring indoor air quality. MERV ratings serve as an industry-standard metric to gauge how effectively a filter removes airborne particles. However, comprehending these technical aspects can be daunting for consumers. To simplify this, we have implemented an intuitive application-based naming system that aids in selecting the most suitable filter for your needs.

Why Choose OlitAir Air Filters?

Pets, odors, and smoking can heavily impact indoor air quality. At OlitAir, we offer a diverse range of air filters designed to enhance air purity and cater to specific air quality concerns.

Importance of Filter Dimensions

Ensuring that your air filter fits correctly within your HVAC system involves not just matching length and width but also considering thickness. Standard air filters typically range from 1 to 2 inches thick, whereas media filters are generally thicker, ranging from 3 to 5 inches. To determine the correct size, it's advisable to measure using a tape measure; dimensions are usually printed on the filter frame for reference.

Choosing the Correct Filter Size

A. Nominal Size vs. Actual Size Nominal size refers to a rounded measurement (e.g., 20 x 20 x 1), whereas actual size provides precise dimensions (e.g., 19.75 x 19.75 x 0.75). Understanding both sizes helps in accurately selecting the right filter.

B. Measuring Your Air Filters If dimensions aren't printed on the filter frame, measure the length, width, and depth with a tape measure to determine the actual size. Round up these measurements to the nearest inch to find the corresponding nominal size, which facilitates easier online searches.
