Common Filter Questions

Where is my filter located?
Your filter can be located anywhere between the furnace and the where warm or cool air enters the room. Common locations include inside the ductwork, behind vents or in the air handler itself.

 

What size filter do I need?
Most furnace filters have two sets of dimensions; nominal and actual. If you measure your filter and it's actually 15 1/2" x 24 3/4" x 3/4", you would round up and search based on the nominal dimensions of 16" x 25" x 1". If the nominal size isn't printed on your old filter just measure your filter width, length and thickness. Round up and you'll get the nominal size. We always recommend measuring your filter just to be sure.

 

Custom size filters
When ordering custom filters submit the exact size down to 1/8" you would like us to make your filters. Please don't submit the nominal size (rounded size) of the filter, submit the actual exact size.

Filter Questions

Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) is a filter industry standard system that rates the overall effectiveness of air filters. Higher value MERV rating equates to finer filtration, meaning fewer dust particles and other airborne contaminants can pass through the filter. Other common ratings found within certain brands and stores includes FPR, MPR. They all follow the same basic principal, the higher the number the greater overall effectiveness of the air filter.

Choosing the correctly sized air filter is important in order to keep air clean in your home. An improperly sized filter may have limited performance. Determining the proper air filter size can be confusing, since filter packages generally display two sets of dimensions. It is important to understand that these dimension sets are the nominal and actual dimensions of the filter, and differences between the two.

When you place an order with RememberTheFilter.com you are charged at the time of purchase. The main reason for this is most of our filters are custom made after an order is placed and some filters have longer lead times. As an online retailer the credit card authorization that takes place when you checkout is only valid for 7 days. After 7 days we would no longer be able to collect payment - thus not send your filters. If you shop with retailers that do charge after longer periods they most likely save credit card information - we don't save credit card information. 

If at anytime you would like a refund or to make an inquiry regarding your order status please let us know. Our customer service representatives will be happy to help.
