Electrolux EPVS-350 filters

We stock filter sets for the Electrolux EPVS-200, EPVS-350 and EPVS-450 and the ERVX-150/250 and ERVX-350 ventilation units, which are most common in the Nordic and Baltic markets. If your unit's model plate is hard to read, filter dimensions are the most dependable way to confirm the right match.

The Electrolux EPVS and ERVX filter sets we stock are G4+G4 — a G4 filter on both the supply and extract side, which protects the unit and its heat exchanger from coarse dust.

No — Electrolux is a large multi-category brand, and its home ventilation/MVHR filters are entirely separate from the filters used in other Electrolux appliances, including:

• Vacuum cleaners
• Cooker hoods
• Air purifiers

Make sure you're searching specifically for your MVHR unit's model rather than a general Electrolux appliance filter.

Original-branded filters carry a premium that comes largely from brand packaging and distribution rather than filtration performance. Our house brand sets for Electrolux EPVS and ERVX units are made to the same G4 class and cut to identical dimensions, so fit and airflow are unaffected.

Finnish design guidance recommends it. Where the outdoor air is affected by heavy traffic it is treated as class ODA 2 rather than ODA 1, and for living spaces in continuous use the recommended filtration then rises: either two stages, ePM10 50% followed by ePM1 60%, or a single ePM1 70% filter. The Electrolux EPVS and ERVX filter sets we stock are G4+G4, however, and we have no finer class for these units. Beside a busy road the most important step is therefore to change the G4 filters more often than usual — check them monthly and replace the set as soon as it has darkened — and to ask a ventilation installer whether a separate fine filter stage can be added to the unit or the ductwork.

Check them every 3 months and replace the set at least every 6 months. Change them sooner if you live near a busy road or construction site, keep pets, or notice weaker airflow or more noise from the unit — all signs that the G4 filters are clogging up.
