Questions & Answers
This filter only needs to be replaced once a year in our home. I'm hoping this will help because we have a new house with very little dust.
38 x 28 inches is the correct size. It appears that you've made a mistake.
The filter is in the shape of an accordion. It will be delivered to you closed, but you must open it to use it. So, the answer to your question is that the model number is more important than the size.
Two were included in my purchase.
Selected User Reviews For Aprilaire 510 Replacement Filter
For those who are concerned that this filter will not fit their system because it requires a 510 MERV 11 or 513 MERV 13 or Model 1510 Size 31x28, this filter will work as long as it is an Aprilaire brand filter. The filter is an accordion type filter, and the size listed here on Amazon is smaller or may differ. It expands slightly to ensure that it functions properly. My unit required a model 1510 31x28, which took 3 minutes to install.
It's less expensive than buying two sets every three months because I only have to replace them once every twelve months. This filter is genuine OEM and performs admirably.
The item was delivered on time and in good condition. The instructions for installation were printed on the shipping box's side. The old filter was removed from the AprilAire enclosure on the air handling unit in the attic. New filter was expanded and slid into the filter housing's top and bottom tracks. The air conditioning kicked on without a hitch.
For my system, it works perfectly. Order two at a time for a good price, then reorder once the second filter is used. That's exactly what I'm about to do.
It is well worth the money. It's a great deal to get two of these filters. They're supposed to last a year.
My service tech installs mine in the attic when it's needed, which is roughly once a year. It should be simple to set up, according to them.
My only complaint is that I wish this was available as a subscription service because it will always be needed and used. This filter can be used for up to 6 months before it needs to be replaced. Please consider allowing a discounted subscription service!.
The price is simply too high for the quality of the product.
