Know before you buy
This filter is designed as a direct replacement for Honeywell FC100A1029, Lennox X6672, and Carrier EXPXXFIL0016 systems. Always verify the actual dimensions of 15 7/8" x 24 3/4" x 4 3/8" against your current filter housing to ensure a proper seal.
The MERV rating indicates the filter's efficiency at capturing airborne particles. A higher MERV rating means the filter captures smaller particles, such as smoke or bacteria, but may require your HVAC system to work slightly harder to pull air through the denser material.
No, these are single-use, disposable filters. They are constructed with a cardboard frame and pleated media that cannot be cleaned or washed without damaging the filtration integrity.
We recommend replacing these filters every six months for optimal performance. Depending on your home environment—such as the presence of pets or high dust levels—you may need to inspect them sooner to ensure your HVAC system maintains proper airflow.
No, this filter relies on its deep pleat design to physically capture particles between 3-10 microns. It does not utilize an electrostatic charge.
