20x22x4 Air Filters for Cleaner Air & HVAC Performance You’ll Notice
At Filterbuy, we’ve spent over a decade refining the materials, pleat design, and durability of our 20x22x4 filters based on real customer feedback and performance data. That’s why we can confidently say: choosing the right filter isn’t just about fit—it’s about protecting your family’s health, improving comfort, and getting more years out of your HVAC system. On this page, we’ll show you what makes 20x22x4 filters stand out and how to choose the best one for your home.
Top Takeaways
Lasts longer – up to 90+ days vs. thinner filters.
Cleaner air – reduces dust, pollen, and allergy triggers.
Protects HVAC – lowers strain and improves airflow.
Boosts efficiency – helps cut energy costs.
Filterbuy advantage – U.S.-made, lab-tested, customer-proven.
When it comes to indoor air quality and HVAC efficiency, 20x22x4 air filters deliver a noticeable difference. Their extra depth means more pleated surface area, allowing them to trap finer dust, pollen, and pet dander while maintaining steady airflow. That balance is what helps your HVAC system run smoothly without straining to push air through.
Unlike thinner filters that clog faster, a 20x22x4 filter can last longer between changes, making it both a healthier and more convenient choice for busy homeowners. At Filterbuy, we’ve tested this size across thousands of systems, and the results are consistent: cleaner air, fewer allergy triggers, and improved energy efficiency you’ll actually feel.
Choosing the right 20x22x4 filter also comes down to selecting the proper MERV rating. Higher MERV options capture more microscopic particles—ideal for allergy-prone families—while mid-range ratings balance efficiency with maximum airflow. Either way, the right filter helps extend the life of your HVAC unit and keeps your home’s air fresh and comfortable.
"After building millions of filters here in the U.S., we’ve learned that 20x22x4 air filters aren’t just another size—they strike the ideal balance between airflow and particle capture. Our testing shows they last longer, protect HVAC systems more effectively, and create the kind of cleaner, healthier air families actually notice day to day."

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a 20x22x4 air filter different from other sizes?
A 20x22x4 filter has a deeper frame and more pleated surface area than thinner filters. This allows it to trap more dust and allergens while keeping airflow steady, which helps your HVAC system run more efficiently.
How often should I replace a 20x22x4 air filter?
Most homes benefit from replacing this filter every 90 days. However, homes with pets, allergy sufferers, or heavy HVAC use may need to replace them more frequently for optimal air quality.
Will a 20x22x4 filter improve my HVAC system’s efficiency?
Yes. Because it maintains airflow longer than thinner filters, it reduces static pressure on the system. That means less strain, smoother performance, and in many cases, lower energy bills.
What MERV rating should I choose for my 20x22x4 filter?
MERV 8–11 is great for everyday dust, pollen, and household debris. MERV 13+ is best for households with allergies, pets, or higher air quality needs.
