AprilAire 410 vs 413: check fit before choosing
Replacing a 410 or a 413, or considering a different filtration grade? Check the installed filter and cabinet before choosing. A matching size or a higher MERV rating does not prove interchangeability.
Short answer from verified product records: 410 is MERV 11; 413 is MERV 13. Both have the same nominal size: 16 × 25 × 4 inches (H × W × D). Their independently documented actual sizes also match: 16.52 × 29.38 × 4 inches (H × W × D). Do not assume the 413 is one inch deeper just because its part number differs.
Before changing filtration grades: A shared size or cabinet listing does not certify a change of filtration grade for your installed system; check the cabinet, rails and airflow requirements. It does not certify an upgrade for your specific installation.
What is printed on your current filter?
- 410: start with the 410 evidence and buying options. Do not switch just because a 413 listing looks similar.
- 413: start with the 413 evidence and buying options, and verify the installed cabinet and filter format.
- Considering a change: check the actual filter measurements, cabinet model, installed rails and HVAC airflow requirements. If these cannot be verified, follow manufacturer instructions or consult an HVAC professional before ordering.

These are separate filter parts. A shared cabinet model or nominal size does not make them interchangeable in every installation. A higher MERV rating does not establish suitability for your HVAC system; check its airflow and filtration requirements before changing ratings.
Five checks before ordering
- Copy the complete part number on the installed filter, including suffixes.
- Copy the model of any separate media cabinet or filter rack.
- Check the verified application and actual dimensions for that specific part.
- For a change of filter grade or format, confirm airflow and installation requirements in the manufacturer instructions.
- Only then follow the buying options on the verified page for your chosen part.
