About this product
Direct replacement for the Carrier 13x21 1/2x1 OEM filter spec, sized at an actual 12 7/8" x 21 1/2" x 3/4". This is the filter that ships on a range of older Carrier and Bryant residential systems, and the OEM-branded refill is one of the more expensive consumables in the Carrier parts catalog given the odd nominal dimensions. Aerostar's pleated equivalent meets the dimensional spec without modification. MERV 8 covers standard household filtration: dust, lint, pollen. MERV 11 handles pet households and most common allergen loads. MERV 13 captures fine particulates including smoke, bacteria, and virus carriers - the grade for households with respiratory issues. Pleated synthetic media with an electrostatic charge built into the fibers handles the filtration. The pleats provide substantially more surface area than a flat fiberglass filter would offer at the same nominal size, extending service life to a 60-to-90-day window in typical residential conditions. The electrostatic charge catches sub-micron particles where the physical weave alone reaches its limits. Manufactured in the USA by Con-Air Industries, Orlando, Florida. Cardboard frame, reinforced to maintain shape under blower suction. MERV 13 in this depth wants a 30-to-60-day change interval because higher MERV grades load up faster than lower options.

- Normal price. Fine to buy if you need it.
- NOT ENOUGH DATA
- Too new to judge. Not enough price history yet.
