AprilAire 413 Replacement Filter - MERV 13 (Pack of 2)

I love getting things like this from Amazon. Nitnis easy to know when to replace based on previous order and then to add it for Auto ship so you don’t forget to replace on time. This is durable, good quality and replacement is easy to do. Appearance? It is a filter. Not much to look at! But does a great job.

Great product, I buy them frequently, they are reasonably priced and easy to install. I change them about every 4-5 months and they look pretty dirty so they are doing a great job at filtering.

Pricey, but worth it to keep the air clean.

Overall great product for use in hvac systems. Fit nicely into the unit with no issues.

TL;DR: I use it. I will buy it again. I recommend it. My 4 stars means 'great product'. (Please note: I reserve 5 stars for over-the-top outstanding; if everything gets five stars it becomes meaningless. My 4 stars is everyone else's 5 stars - it means the product is good, I'll buy it again, and I recommend it. It's does just what I *expect* it to do; no better, no worse. I do the same with standing ovations at plays and live performances, btw... Usually I'll know within a few minutes it deserves a standing ovation; it's beyond expectations.) My favorite way to evaluate something: if I knew then what I know now, would I buy it? This filter: Yes. I would, and will buy it again. I recommend it without reservations. How I installed the filter: Open Amazon package. Pull down attic hatch, unfold ladder steps. Climb up ladder. Forgot filter, have daughter throw filter box up ladder. Miss. Repeat; catching box this time. Crawl over to air conditioner (low ceiling in attic...) Open filter box. Lift cover off air conditioner. Slide old filter out. Ick! Full of dusty and crud. (we got the 410 filter last time; better 413 this time) Open new filter box, slide filter out of it. Pull apart to open it. (accordion-like) Slide bottom piece (slightly) onto air conditioner. Bump nearby chimney so it falls off (filter from air conditioner; the chimney didn't fall off) Slide bottom piece onto air conditioner again. Slide top piece onto air conditioner. (being careful not to bump the chimney again) Push both pieces to slide filter into air conditioner. Slides right in, fits perfectly. (410 did too) Replace cover over the filter. Crawl back to ladder. Toss empty box down to daughter. (don't toss old filter unless you want an upset dust-covered daughter!) Crawl back down ladder, carefully carrying old filter. Put old filter into trash bag. Fold ladder steps up, push attic hatch closed. Put trash bag with old filter in garage. (awesome daughter already put new filter box into recycling bin) Wash hands. Congratulate self on doing a wonderful job. Family stands around smiling and applauding; bask in their adulation. (not didn't happen... - but congratulate self and cross off the 'to-do' task) It took longer to write this - and probably for you to read this - than it took to actually change the filter. Air conditioner is immediately working better - cycling quicker than before. I can't actually tell, but I'm sure our air is cleaner. (that's not a reflection on the filter; more on me...) Make a note to change it again in six months or so. Cheap and easy way to keep the air conditioner working better! Summary: I use it. I will buy it again. I recommend it.

Easy to install and seems to work well.

Pricey, but worth it. Perfect fit

Excellent value

Not as expensive as the name brand and works fine, good enough for me.

I got the 4-pack, much better price per filter than buying one.

I bought this as a less expensive option, compared to the filter that is sold by the company that installed my furnace, the KMRF001 filter. It fits great! There seems to be a little bit more room after this filter is installed, compared to the original one from the furnace installer, but it still works great, and it's easy to install. The quality of this filter is very good, and it does a great job of keeping dust particles out of the air. My wife is very sensitive to dust, and there was a noticeable improvement with the air quality in our house after installing this filter.

These are the OEM filters for various AprilAire furnace filter systems. I've used these exclusively, and have never had any problems. While they are somewhat expensive, the filters last about 6 months, so the $10-12 per months that it ends up costing is worthwhile to help keep the air clear for our kids.

Great product. Great price. Perfect fit.
