Lennox X7935 Filter

This filter is specifically engineered as a direct replacement for the Lennox HCC14-23 air cleaner. While it may physically fit other housings of the same dimensions, it is designed and tested specifically for the airflow and sealing requirements of the HCC14-23 system.

A MERV 16 rating indicates a hospital-grade level of filtration. It is capable of capturing 95% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, which includes not just dust and pollen, but also bacteria, viruses, and fine smoke particles.

Because this is a deep-pleated, 5-inch thick filter, it provides a large surface area that allows for high-efficiency filtration without significantly restricting airflow. However, it is always important to ensure your HVAC system is compatible with high-MERV filters to maintain optimal blower performance.

Under normal residential conditions, this filter is designed to last between 6 to 12 months. We recommend checking it every 6 months, as the exact lifespan depends on your home's specific air quality, the number of occupants, and the presence of pets.

Yes, the MERV 16 rating is highly effective at capturing pet dander and other microscopic allergens. While it excels at removing particulate matter, please note that it is primarily a particulate filter and may not fully eliminate strong chemical odors or VOCs.
