Made in the Exact Size!

Exact Filters are made to order to ensure a perfect fit for your HVAC system. These filters will have the final dimensions of 29 3/8 x 35 3/4 x 1-3/4 inches. Say goodbye to air bypass and the hassle of searching for a filter that matches your system. Backed by the Filter Fit Guarantee, you can trust that your Exact Filters will provide optimal performance.

Our Geothermal Compatible HVAC Filters – MERV 8 are designed to provide dependable system protection and consistent airflow for geothermal heat pump systems and high-efficiency HVAC equipment. Built to meet the tighter fit requirements common in geothermal applications from manufacturers such as Carrier, ClimateMaster, and WaterFurnace, these filters prioritize proper fit, reduced air bypass, and smooth airflow—key factors for long-running geothermal systems.

Each filter is manufactured to exact dimensions, not undersized nominal measurements. For example, a 30x36x2 filter is produced at an actual size of 29-3/8” x 35-3/4” x 1-3/4”, ensuring a tight seal within the filter rack. This precise fit helps protect sensitive geothermal components by preventing unfiltered air from bypassing the filter.

With a MERV 8 rating, these filters efficiently capture larger airborne particles such as household dust, lint, pollen, and debris while maintaining low airflow resistance. This makes MERV 8 an excellent choice for geothermal heat pumps and water-source systems that prioritize airflow, efficiency, and long service life.

Designed for Geothermal & High-Efficiency Systems

Compatible with many systems including:

  • Geothermal heat pump systems
  • Water-source heat pumps
  • High-efficiency residential HVAC systems
  • Light commercial HVAC applications
  • Forced-air heating and cooling systems requiring low-resistance filtration
  • Common geothermal platforms from Carrier, ClimateMaster, and WaterFurnace

Key Features & Benefits

  • Exact Fit Manufacturing – Built to precise dimensions for improved sealing and reduced air bypass
  • MERV 8 Filtration – Reliable particle capture with minimal impact on airflow
  • Low-Resistance Pleated Media – Ideal for geothermal systems with long or frequent run cycles
  • Rigid, Durable Frame – Maintains shape and fit under continuous operation
  • System-Friendly Performance – Helps support efficiency and component longevity
  • These geothermal compatible MERV 8 HVAC filters are a smart choice for homeowners and facilities using Carrier, ClimateMaster, or WaterFurnace geothermal systems where airflow consistency and system protection are the top priorities.
Note: Always verify your system’s required filter dimensions and recommended filtration level. Exact-fit filters are designed to match real HVAC openings rather than rounded nominal sizes.

MERV Rating

MERV 8

Filter Media

100% synthetic non-woven, proprietary media that can be recycled. Engineered with a gradient density composition that achieves it's MERV rating using the mechanical method of particle capture. Media does not rely on an electrostatic charge to capture particulate, since electrostatic charged filters dissipate over time.

Filter Support Grid

Expanded metal is continuously laminated on the air leaving side to provide pleat stability during operation. Pleat shape is maintained allowing full media utilization which improves dust holding capacity.

Frame

Heavy-duty, two piece, moisture-resistant frame with diagonal support members. Frame is bonded to the media at all points of contact for unsurpassed frame strength. Interlocking corners and positive media-to-frame seal reduce the possibility of air bypass.

Removes

MERV 8 rating reduces up to 75% of large airborne particles including dust and lint, dust mite debris, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, bacteria and virus carriers.

General

How often should I replace my HVAC filter?

Most pleated filters should be changed every 90 days. However, households with pets, allergies, or heavy HVAC use may need to replace filters every 30–60 days. Commercial and industrial sites may require more frequent changes based on conditions.

Do you offer custom sizes?

Yes! If you need a filter with an exact size—down to the 1/8 inch—we can help. Visit our Custom Size Filters page to get started.

What if the filter doesn’t fit right?

We’ve got you covered with our Filter Fit Guarantee. If the size doesn’t fit your system as expected, reach out to our support team and we’ll make it right.

What makes you different from big box stores or other filter sites?

We’ve been online for nearly 20 years, and our team has over 50 years of combined HVAC experience. We sell American-made filters from trusted brands like AAF Flanders and Koch Filter—no cheap knockoffs or low-performance imports. We’re also a proud NAFA member, which means we’re committed to real air quality expertise and professional standards.

Do you sell the same filters used in commercial or government buildings?

Yes. In fact, we supply filters to schools, clinics, and government agencies nationwide. Many of our filters—especially MERV 10, 11, and 13—meet or exceed specifications for professional use. You’re getting professional-grade protection for your home.

Are your filters certified or tested?

Yes. Almost all of our filters meet or exceed ASHRAE standards and are manufactured under strict quality control. Many are used in hospitals, schools, and government facilities—so you can trust they perform as advertised.

How do I know what size filter I need?

Look for the size printed on your old filter or measure the filter slot in your system. We recommend rounding up to the nearest 1/8” for custom sizes. You can also visit our How to Measure Filters page for step-by-step help.

Do you offer bulk discounts or commercial pricing?

Absolutely. If you’re ordering for a business, property, or large facility, we’ll provide a quote and recommend the right products for your needs. Reach out to our Commercial Services team anytime.

What is MERV?

What is a MERV rating and why does it matter?

MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) rates how well a filter captures airborne particles. The higher the MERV rating (typically 1–13 for residential use), the finer the particles it can trap—from dust and pollen to bacteria and smoke. We offer filters from MERV 1–13 to match your system’s needs and your air quality goals. Learn More

Will a higher MERV rating restrict airflow?

Filters with higher MERV ratings are denser and can reduce airflow in systems not designed for them. MERV 8–10 is a safe choice for most homes. For MERV 11 or 13, ensure your system can handle the increased resistance or contact our team—we’re happy to help you choose the right balance of efficiency and airflow.

Will using a high-MERV filter damage my HVAC system?

Not when matched properly. All of our filters are designed for low pressure drop and optimal airflow. If you’re unsure, contact us—we’ll help you choose a filter that your system can handle safely.

Do higher MERV filters improve indoor air quality?

Yes. Filters with higher MERV ratings (10–13) trap smaller and more harmful particles like mold spores, smoke, bacteria, and allergens. They’re ideal for families, people with asthma or sensitivities, and anyone wanting cleaner, healthier air inside.
