Questions about 15×20×1 filters
Is 15×20×1 the real size?
Not quite, and that's normal. 15×20×1 is the size on the label. The filter itself measures 14.75 × 19.75 × 0.75 in (375 × 502 × 19 mm), a little smaller so it slides into the slot. We make ours to within 1/16 inch of that.
How much does a 15×20×1 filter cost?
In a 6-pack, Everyday (MERV 8) is $5.04, Allergy (MERV 11) is $7.06, Allergy + Smoke (MERV 13) is $7.82 per filter. A 12-pack costs a little less per filter, and subscribing saves another 10%. Free shipping in the US.
How often should I change a 15×20×1 filter?
About every 3 months in a typical home with Everyday or Allergy, and every 2.5 months with Allergy + Smoke. With pets, closer to every 2 months. Heating and cooling season, pollen and smoke fill it faster, so "When you need it" times each swap to your home's weather and household instead of the calendar.
Can I use a 14×20×1 instead?
No. Even an inch matters. A smaller filter leaves a gap that lets dusty air slip around it, and a bigger one won't slide in. Order the exact size printed on your old filter's edge. If it's a size no store carries, we make any custom size, priced like the next standard size up.
Is 20×15×1 the same as 15×20×1?
Yes. Manufacturers list the two face sides in either order. What matters is the airflow arrow on the frame: point it toward the furnace or air handler, away from the room.
