Hart Cooley 102499017 Pleated Furnace Filter Merv 11

Product Description

The HART COOLEY 102499017 is a MERV 11 pleated furnace filter rated to capture a broad range of airborne particulates in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems. At 16 inches by 25 inches by 2 inches, it fits standard filter slots in furnace cabinets and air handler returns. The MERV 11 rating means this filter captures particles in the 1-to-3 micron range at a higher efficiency than basic fiberglass panels, making it a practical choice when indoor air quality and equipment protection are both priorities. HVAC technicians and property maintenance crews install this filter during routine preventive maintenance calls.

This filter is suited for residential gas furnaces, heat pumps, and central air conditioning systems that use a standard 2-inch filter slot. It works in both upflow and horizontal air handler configurations where a 16-by-25-by-2-inch filter is specified. MERV 11 filtration balances airflow restriction and particle capture, making it appropriate for households with pets, mild allergy concerns, or average dust loads in moderate climates. Service contractors often stock this size as a high-turnover replacement filter for common residential equipment.

Key Features

• MERV 11 rating captures particles down to the 1-to-3 micron range, including dust, pollen, mold spores, and pet dander
• Pleated media design increases surface area compared to flat-panel filters, supporting longer service intervals
• 2-inch depth fits standard furnace and air handler filter slots without modification
• Lightweight construction at 2 pounds simplifies handling during filter swaps
• Compatible with common forced-air system configurations including upflow furnaces and horizontal air handlers

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems requiring a 16-by-25-by-2-inch pleated filter with a MERV 11 rating.

Installation Notes

A licensed HVAC technician or qualified service professional should set the thermostat to off and shut down the air handling unit at the disconnect before replacing the filter. Verify airflow direction arrows on the filter frame align with system airflow toward the blower before seating the filter fully in its slot. Inspect the filter cabinet gaskets or seals for bypasses that would reduce filtration effectiveness. Follow local mechanical codes and the equipment manufacturer's recommended replacement intervals for best results.
