Specialists in custom air filters
When it comes to indoor air quality improvement, no two indoor spaces are the same. Depending on the unique requirements of your building, custom size air filters could be the solution you need.
Unlike standard sizes such as 24x24x2, 20x25x2 and 20x20x2 which are designed to fit common configurations, many systems require customized dimensions. In many cases, this will be because your HVAC system is designed for a particular application. In other cases, standard filters may simply not provide the precise fit you need, leading to gaps that can compromise air quality and HVAC efficiency.

How to Measure for Your Custom Air Filter
Measure Length & Width
Using a Tape Measure. Measure the length and width of the filter. Record the shorter dimension first for rectangular filters.
Measure the Depth
Measure the filter's thickness from front to back to determine the depth.
Understand Sizes
Nominal Size The rounded dimensions typically used for 'standard size' filters, e.g., a filter actually measuring 19.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches is usually listed as 20 x 20 x 1 inches.
Actual Size When measuring for 'non-standard' sizes note the precise measurements you require for a tight fit into the rack. This is crucial for ensuring the filter fits properly in your HVAC system.
Compile & Confirm
List Measurements Combine your measurements as Length x Width x Depth.
Check Before Purchase Always verify both nominal and actual sizes before purchasing to ensure the filter fits your system.

Don't sweat it - check out our comprehensive Frequently Asked Questions page.
What makes custom air filters different from standard ones?
- Custom air filters are designed to fit specific measurements that standard filters don't meet. They provide a precise fit for HVAC systems that require unique dimensions or have space constraints that standard sizes cannot accommodate. This ensures optimal air quality and system efficiency by eliminating any gaps that could allow bypassing of unfiltered air.
How do I know what size of custom air filter I need?
- To determine the size of a custom air filter you need, measure the existing filter or filter slot in your HVAC system. You should measure the length, width, and depth. If you're replacing an existing filter, you can also check its frame for size indications. Always ensure measurements are accurate to avoid issues with fit.
What is the lead time for custom air filter orders?
- The typical lead time for custom air filter orders at Brookaire is 48 hours from order confirmation to delivery. This quick turnaround ensures that you can maintain your HVAC system without significant downtime.
Can I order custom filters in any quantity?

How do I maintain my custom air filter for longevity?
- Timely Replacement: Replace air filters at intervals recommended by the manufacturer or as needed based on visual inspections or airflow performance.
- Proper Installation: Ensure that filters are installed correctly according to the airflow direction and fit snugly to prevent air from bypassing the filter.
- Environment Monitoring: Keep the environment clean and monitor indoor air quality to reduce the load on air filters and prolong their effectiveness.
