FAQs About 20x20x1 Air Filters
What does 20x20x1 mean in air filters?
It refers to the filter’s dimensions in inches — length x width x depth. Always check the actual size listed on your old filter frame before buying.
Can I use a higher MERV rating than my current filter?
Yes, but check your HVAC manual. Higher MERV filters trap more particles but may restrict airflow in some older systems.
How do I know when to change my filter?
If you notice more dust around your home, increased allergies, or higher energy bills, it’s time to check and replace the filter.

No — the 20x20x1 air filter is disposable. Replacing it on schedule ensures top performance and cleaner indoor air.
