Remove & Replace Foam Furnace Filter

Foam furnace filter measures 19x35x1/4″. Cut to fit the size you need. Replaces foam filters found in some furnaces.

New wire retaining clips, which hold the filter in place, are also available.

If your current furnace filter comes with a cardboard frame, this foam filter may not be for you unless your filter was previously changed to the wrong kind. Generally, this foam filter is held in place with wire retaining clips (see below).
