Where this size goes
A 2" filter usually goes in a filter rack or return grille built for thicker filters. Its deeper pleats hold more dust than a 1" filter of the same face size, so it lasts longer between swaps. None of the furnaces and air handlers we've sized from spec sheets use it in the unit itself, so check the grille or slot you pull the old filter from.
How often to change it
| Household | Everyday (MERV 8) | Allergy (MERV 11) | Allergy + Smoke (MERV 13) |
|---|---|---|---|
| A typical home | 4 months | 4 months | 3.5 months |
| With pets | 3 months | 3 months | 2.5 months |
| Pets and allergies, or smoke season | 2 months | 2 months | 2 months |
A 2" filter has deeper pleats than a 1", so it lasts about half again as long. Heating and cooling season, pollen and wildfire smoke shorten these; mild spring and fall weeks stretch them. More on timing.
How long a pack lasts

Questions about 24×24×2 filters
Is 24×24×2 the real size?
Not quite, and that's normal. 24×24×2 is the size on the label. The filter itself measures 23.75 × 23.75 × 1.75 in (603 × 603 × 44 mm), a little smaller so it slides into the slot. We make ours to within 1/16 inch of that.
How much does a 24×24×2 filter cost?
In a 6-pack, Everyday (MERV 8) is $13.56, Allergy (MERV 11) is $18.98, Allergy + Smoke (MERV 13) is $21.02 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 24×24×2 filter?
About every 4 months in a typical home with Everyday or Allergy, and every 3.5 months with Allergy + Smoke. With pets, closer to every 3 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.
Will a 24×24×1 fit where my 24×24×2 goes?
A 1" filter is thinner, so it would slide in but leave a gap that lets air go around it. Stay with 24×24×2 for a 2" slot.
