This page carries Tier1 4-inch MERV 8 furnace filters in two different styles: universal 20x25x4 and 16x25x4 filters in 6-packs, and 19 x 20 x 4-1/4 replacements in 2-packs for Carrier, Bryant, Totaline, Day & Night, Payne and BDP furnaces.
A higher MERV number on the EPA's scale means finer capture; MERV 8 is the entry level of the three. For finer filtration, see our 4-inch MERV 11 filters or 4-inch MERV 13 filters.
A MERV 8 filter is rated 8 on the Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) scale that the EPA references, where higher numbers mean finer particle capture. It is our entry-level 4-inch rating.
The 4-inch filter you need is the one that matches the size printed on your current filter. If it reads 20x25x4 or 16x25x4, choose a universal filter. If it reads 19 x 20 x 4-1/4, or a Carrier or Bryant part number, choose the brand-shaped size.
