AF28x30x2-M8 Merv 8 Air Filter 28x30x2

Product Description

The AF28x30x2-M8 is a MERV 8 pleated HVAC air filter designed for residential and light commercial forced-air systems. With a nominal size of 28x30x2 inches and an actual size of 27.5 x 29.5 x 1.75 inches, this filter fits standard filter slots calling for a 2-inch depth. MERV 8 filtration captures common airborne particles including dust, pollen, mold spores, and pet dander, making it a solid baseline filter for most residential HVAC applications. This product ships in a quantity of 10 filters per order. Licensed HVAC technicians and facility maintenance professionals typically specify this filter tier for standard split systems and air handlers where moderate particulate control is required without excessive static pressure penalty.

This filter is suited for residential forced-air heating and cooling systems, heat pumps, and light commercial air handlers that accept a 28x30x2 nominal filter size. It is a pleated design, which increases surface area relative to fiberglass panel filters and supports longer service intervals under normal operating conditions. Typical replacement intervals depend on system runtime, occupancy, and local air quality conditions. The 10-pack quantity is appropriate for service technicians managing multiple units or homeowners stocking filters for a full year of scheduled replacements.
