EXISTING WHOLE-HOME CABINETS · GENUINE REPLACEMENT MEDIA
410 and 413 share a cabinet family; 213 fits a different one. Match the installed model before choosing a filtration rating or comparing replacement costs.
Read the model on the installed cabinet and check its manual and rails. A nominal size alone does not establish fit.
For a confirmed shared cabinet, compare MERV 11 with MERV 13 and your system’s permitted filter specification. 213 is a separate fit decision.
Cabinet lists are from AprilAire’s current product pages. They do not establish that an unmodified older cabinet has the required rails. Check the equipment manual before ordering.
AprilAire lists 410 and 413 at 16.52 × 29.38 × 4 inches actual size. FiltersFast prints 16 × 25 × 3.5 for 410 and 15.81 × 29.38 × 4.05 for 413. These sources disagree; we have not measured the media or resolved the discrepancy. Use the cabinet model, exact part and rail arrangement, rather than treating either measurement as a universal fit guarantee.
For 213, both sources list 20.6 × 26.63 × 4 inches actual size. Its MERV 13 label does not make it interchangeable with 413.
410 is rated MERV 11; 413 and 213 are MERV 13. For a shared compatible cabinet, a higher rating is one selection factor. Follow your system’s allowed filter specification and service guidance; these listings do not tell us the pressure drop in your installation. This comparison makes no measured airflow or health-outcome claim.
| Part | One per year | Two per year |
|---|---|---|
| 410 | $74.99 | $149.98 |
| 413 | $76.99 | $153.98 |
| 213 | $76.99 | $153.98 |
At these prices, 413 costs $2 more per replacement than 410: $2 a year at one change, or $4 at two. AprilAire recommends annual replacement; the retailer gives six to twelve months. These calculations illustrate both intervals, not predicted filter life. Follow the manual and actual filter condition.
Prices are the 23 October quantity-one purchase-panel snapshots. The 413 and 213 page titles show $72.99 while their purchase panels show $76.99; calculations use the panels. Shipping, tax, coupons, subscriptions and bulk discounts are excluded.
