View Detailed InstructionsThe 16x24x1 Aerostar measures 15 1/2" x 23 1/2" x 3/4" actual, sized for a nominal 16x24x1 return. Common spec on mid-sized residential furnaces and air handlers, and one of the higher-volume filter sizes in the U.S. residential market. Available in MERV 8 for standard households, MERV 11 for pet owners and mild allergy households, and MERV 13 for fine particulate filtration including smoke and virus-carrying aerosols. The pleated synthetic media construction gives this filter substantially more capacity than a flat fiberglass alternative at the same nominal size. The electrostatic charge built into the fibers catches particles smaller than the physical weave would stop on its own. Manufactured in the USA by Con-Air Industries, the Orlando, Florida facility that produces Aerostar filters for the brand's full retail and direct-to-consumer footprint. The cardboard frame is reinforced to hold shape under blower suction. Service life is 60 to 90 days for MERV 8 and 11 in typical residential conditions. MERV 13 wants a change closer to every 30 to 60 days because higher-grade filtration loads up faster. If you've got pets or live in a wildfire-prone area, plan on the shorter end of those intervals regardless of MERV.
Pleated MERV 8 Media
Comparable to MPR 600 and FPR 5
Designed for Superior Filtration Efficiency
Made with electrostatically charged synthetic material that draws and captures allergens between 3 - 10 microns, including lint, dust mites, mold spores, pollen, pet dander, and dust.
Improve Indoor Air Quality
Protect your family and loved ones with clean indoor air quality at home. Aerostar filters are a simple and cost effective step towards a healthier home environment, free of airborne allergens and particles that can trigger various allergy and asthma symptoms.
Improve Efficiency and Reduce Cost
An Aerostar furnace air filter helps keep your HVAC unit working efficiently by removing dirt and reducing strain on the motor. When your unit runs properly, it consumes less energy, requires less maintenance and will have a longer life. These factors will have an impact on your utility bill and maintenance costs. It is recommended that you change the filter every 60 to 90 days during normal times of year but increase frequency to 30 days during peak summer and winter months when your unit is working the hardest.

About MERV, MPR and FPR Rating
The three rating systems were created by different organizations. MERV is the domestic and international Industry Standard rating system established by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers. The other two rating systems were created by 3M and The Home Depot, but all are rating the same filter.
MERV Rating (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value): As you have already learned, the MERV Rating is the primary rating system used in the industry, both domestically and internationally. Established by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers, MERV rates a filter’s ability to capture and hold particles and pollutants.
MPR (Micro-Particle Performance Rating): MPR Rating is a rating system developed by 3M. It rates the manufacturer’s Filtrete product line and their ability to capture airborne particles smaller than 1 micron.
FPR (Filter Performance Rating): FPR Rating is a rating system developed by The Home Depot for brands sold through their stores, including Honeywell. It utilizes a color code and number scale (4 to 10) that closely resembles the MERV rating.
MERV ratings let you know the efficiency and level of filtration that an air filter can handle under normal circumstances. The higher the MERV rating, the finer the particles are that are filtered our of the air in your home. Many air filter retailers use MERV or a similar rating to rate their air filters.

"Easy order, quick delivery, and well made."
"The filter is a tiny bit narrower than our last order from another source. Not sure if the 1/16 or less is enough to make a difference, especially since we saved over $20 dollars on the 6 filters over the price of the other!"
"I have looked for these filters at home depot, Walmart and lowes. Factory direct was by far the best quality filters i was looking for my Goodman AC unit."
"Thank you for the ease of not having to remember to buy good filters every month."
"reliable"
"Fast shipment and perfect fit."
"It’s not a very popular size these days so thank you for carrying this size filter of 24x16x1”"
