About Amazon Basics Merv 8 AC Furnace Air Filter
Overall Feedback:
89% positive
81% praised for improving indoor air quality, but 19% didn't notice a difference
AC filters help improve air quality by capturing allergens such as dust, lint, mold, spores, pollen, and dust mites.
Since using these filters, my bedroom's air quality measurement has generally gone up by about 30 points.
88% liked its compatibility with various furnace models
I replaced my existing 3 inch deep filter element with a 1 inch deep Amazon Basics filter element.
84% found it easy to install and replace, but 16% had difficulties
I advise paying attention to the arrow on the filter for proper installation.
82% liked the long-lasting filter
I have learned that increasing the depth of the filter element increases the surface area of filtering media and extends its life. I suggest using a 1 inch width element and doubling the replacement frequency for better performance and cost-effectiveness.
This filter design provides more filtering surface area than other filters because of the absence of cardboard strips in the air entry layer. This means I can filter more air, the filter can last longer, and the HVAC system works less hard from the air intake.
84% appreciated its high filtration efficiency
The outer holding box is made of good quality polished cardboard and filter fiber is interwoven with fine metal wire.
84% appreciated the quieter operation, but 16% didn't notice a difference
I did not mention anything about the noise reduction of the furnace filter.
