General Aire MAC 1200 Air Cleaner

Breathe cleaner, healthier air anywhere in your home with the General Aire MAC 1200 Air Cleaner. 

Designed for homeowners who want reliable, low-maintenance filtration without the noise or clutter of portable units, this whole-house air cleaner installs directly into the return air duct of your forced-air HVAC system. Once in place, it captures dust, pollen, and other airborne particles every time your system runs, helping to relieve allergy symptoms, safeguard your HVAC equipment, and keep surfaces cleaner.

Key Features and Benefits of the General Aire MAC 1200 Air Cleaner

• Opti-Fiber Media: The MERV-8 filter captures 70 percent of particles as small as 3 microns, including dust, pollen, and pet dander, to reduce allergy and asthma triggers.
• Low-Pressure Drop Design: Engineered media allows high airflow (up to 1,200 CFM) with minimal strain on your blower, helping preserve HVAC efficiency and lower operating costs.
• HVAC System Protection: By trapping debris before it reaches coils and motors, the MAC 1200 helps extend equipment life and maintain peak performance.
• Easy Maintenance: Replace the 5-inch filter cartridge twice a year without tools or complicated steps.
• Durable Metal Cabinet: The galvanized steel construction resists warping and corrosion for long-term reliability; a hinged door provides quick filter access.
• Space-Saving Footprint: Measuring at 12 x 25 x 5 inches, it fits neatly into most furnace or air-handler setups without major duct modifications.

Your HVAC’s Clean Air Expert

Unlike portable air purifiers that clean a single room, the MAC 1200 works in tandem with your heating and cooling system. Whenever the blower turns on, household air is pulled through the Opti-Fiber filter, removing airborne particles before they circulate back into living spaces. 

Because the media is engineered for low resistance, your system doesn’t have to work very hard, meaning there is no noticeable strain or impact on your system or utility bills. It’s a quiet, hidden solution that improves indoor air quality every day without adding extra noise, devices, or daily upkeep to your routine.
