SELF-SEAL™ TECHNOLOGY
Patented Self-Seal Technology reduces bypass, meaning particulates that may be harmful to your family's health or HVAC system are captured by the AprilAire Air Filter instead of getting through gaps. This improves filter performance and provides superior Indoor Air Quality.
-

CLEAN-COIL COMMITMENT
AprilAire Air Filters help protect your HVAC equipment against dirt and dust buildup which can hinder performance. Should your new indoor air conditioner coil require professional cleaning within its first 10 years of use, AprilAire will pay $100 toward a cleaning by an HVAC contractor.*
-
OFFICIAL REPLACEMENT FILTER
Using genuine replacement AprilAire Air Filters guarantees peak performance for your AprilAire Whole-House Air Purifier and ensures the replacement is worthy of your equipment investment.

BUY WITH CONFIDENCE
AprilAire Air Filters are designed and made in the USA so you can buy with confidence.
