What's In The Box?

  • General Aire MAC 2000 Air Cleaner
  • MERV-11 Filter Cartridge

Description

The General Aire MAC 2000 Air Cleaner is an easy-to-install media cabinet that turns your existing HVAC system into a powerful whole-house air filtration system. 

Built for homeowners who want reliable, low-maintenance protection against dust, pollen, and other airborne particles, it handles up to 2,000 CFM of clean airflow without straining your furnace or air conditioner.

Key Features and Benefits of the MAC 2000 Whole-House Air Cleaner

  • High-Flow Design: With an airflow capacity of 2,000 CFM, this cleaner purifies the air in larger homes without restricting airflow, keeping heating and cooling performance on point.
  • Disposable Cardboard Cartridge: The MERV-11 Opti-Fiber Media Filter traps up to 65 percent of particles down to 1 micron, including household dust, mold spores, and pet dander, for noticeably fresher, cleaner air. Easily slide the filter out to replace it every 6 to 12 months with no tools.
  • Low Pressure Drop: Saves energy and protects HVAC components by letting air pass through the filter media with a 0.26-inch WC pressure capacity.
  • Durable Steel Cabinet: The built-in wire mesh support prevents the media from sagging and maintains a snug seal so unfiltered air can’t bypass the system.
  • Fits Tight Spaces: Measuring at 22 x 25 x 7 inches, the cabinet installs in return ducts with minimal modifications. The 26-inch clearance lets you remove a filter cartridge from either side.

Convenient Year-Round Protection

The MAC 2000 is designed for homeowners who prefer a set-it-and-forget-it solution over monthly filter swaps or noisy portable units. Mounted in the return air duct, it treats every cubic foot of air your HVAC system handles, turning your furnace fan into a quiet, whole-house air purifier that works nonstop. 

Maintenance is equally straightforward: shut off the blower, pull the old filter straight out, and push in a new one. No tools, no wiring, and no additional power required.

Sylvane's Expert Take

If you need an efficient, low-maintenance way to upgrade your home’s air quality, the General Aire MAC 2000 checks every box. The high-flow media captures a broad range of allergens without compromising HVAC efficiency, and the slim cabinet fits neatly into most return ducts. Annual filter changes keep upkeep simple, while the 10-year warranty underscores long-term reliability. 

For homeowners wanting whole-house air purification without the noise or hassle of multiple portable units, this media air cleaner is a smart, straightforward choice.
