Aprilaire 213 Filter

The Aprilaire 213 Filter is a high-performance MERV 13 air filter designed to optimize indoor air quality for residential HVAC systems. Featuring patented Self-Seal Technology, this genuine Aprilaire replacement filter minimizes air bypass, ensuring that nearly all circulating air passes through the pleated filter media. Engineered for a 20x25x4 nominal size, it effectively captures 93% of airborne viruses and 99% of common triggers like pollen, mold spores, and pet dander. By removing these airborne contaminants, the filter also protects your heating and cooling equipment from dust buildup, which helps maintain system efficiency and lower energy costs. This model is compatible with Aprilaire air cleaner models 1210, 1620, 2210, 2216, 3210, and 4200, as well as older Space-Gard 2200 units equipped with the 1213 upgrade kit. Its collapsible design and Interlock Rail System allow for a simple 1-2-3 installation process without the need for additional tools or reinforcements.

Common Questions

How often should I replace my Aprilaire 213 filter?
Standard recommendations suggest replacing the media every 12 months; however, homes with pets, smokers, or high dust levels may require more frequent changes, often every 6 to 9 months.

Is the 213 filter interchangeable with the Aprilaire 210?
Yes, both filters fit the same housing, but the 213 offers a higher MERV 13 rating compared to the MERV 11 rating of the 210, providing better protection against smaller allergens.

Will this filter fit my older Space-Gard 2200?
It will only fit a Space-Gard 2200 if the unit has been updated with the 1213 Media Upgrade Kit, which replaces the original pleat spacers with the modern rail system.
