The Genuine AprilAire 201 20x25x6 MERV 10 Healthy Air Filter efficiently captures household dust, pollen, mold spores, pet dander, and other airborne particulates to dramatically improve indoor air quality and protect HVAC equipment performance. Designed with self-sealing edges and structured pleats, this long-lasting filter provides up to 12 months of clean air performance, reducing airflow resistance while preserving your system's efficiency throughout the year.
Note: Due to a recent manufacturing change, the yarn on the filter has been changed to a ribbon. This should not be removed, and the filter still acts the same as before.

- Dust
- Pollen
- Mold Spores
- Pet Dander
- Dust Mites
- Other Common Airborne Allergens
Does the AprilAire 201 fit both Space-Gard and AprilAire air cleaners?
Yes. Space-Gard was the original branding for these whole-house air cleaners before the brand became AprilAire. The AprilAire 201 replacement filter is compatible with both Space-Gard and AprilAire Model 2200 and 2250 air cleaners.
How do I know if my filter needs replacing sooner than one year?
You may need to replace the AprilAire 201 earlier if:
- Your HVAC fan runs continuously
- You have multiple pets
- Have ongoing home renovations
- Have heavy dust, household members with allergies
These conditions can cause the filter to load with particles more quickly than normal.
Does installing a new AprilAire 201 filter improve HVAC efficiency?
Yes! A clean filter allows air to move through your HVAC system more easily than a heavily loaded filter. Replacing the filter at recommended intervals helps maintain proper airflow and supports efficient system operation.
Can I clean and reuse the AprilAire 201 filter?
No! The AprilAire 201 is a disposable media filter and is not designed to be washed or vacuumed. Cleaning the media can damage the filter and reduce its ability to capture airborne particles. Replace it with a new filter when it reaches the end of its filter life.
Is there a correct airflow direction when installing the AprilAire 201?
Yes! The filter should always be installed according to the airflow direction indicated by your air cleaner or installation instructions. Proper orientation ensures the filter performs as intended and maintains the correct airflow through the system.
