About Filtrete 16x20x1 AC Furnace Air Filter
Overall Feedback:
91% positive
92% praised for improving indoor air quality, but 8% didn't notice a difference
Air quality improvement is important when choosing a furnace-filter, but it's also important to consider the filter's ability to keep the evaporator and other components clean.
I have noticed that the filter prevents small particles from circulating through the HVAC system, but at a high expense.
Rephrased: The filter prevents small particles from circulating through the HVAC system, but at a high expense.
82% liked its compatibility, but 18% had issues with compatibility
The filter size is slightly larger than what I'm used to, but it fits snugly in the filter slot, reducing the chance of unfiltered air slipping around the edges.
I upgraded my air intake to use 3 large filters for good airflow.
79% found it easy to install and replace, but 21% had difficulties
It's a little harder for me to fit the filter in/out of the narrow space on the HVAC units.
I noticed that the filters almost got sucked into the inlet and I imagine that once they get dirty they will get sucked into the inlet. This indicates that the installation process was not easy and I faced difficulty while installing it.
During installation, I faced difficulty as the filters almost got sucked into the inlet. I am concerned that once they get dirty, they will be sucked in as well.
86% liked the long-lasting filter, while 14% thought it needed frequent replacements
With the fan on at all times, these filters last for a couple of months.
I am satisfied with the product and will buy it again despite its cost.
The filters stopped working in less than 2 weeks and were not individually wrapped.
92% appreciated its high filtration efficiency, while 8% thought it was mediocre
Buildup of dust and dirt in the evaporator can greatly diminish the efficiency of our air conditioner.
86% appreciated the quieter operation, but 14% didn't notice a difference
I haven't mentioned anything about the noise reduction of the furnace-filter.
I have used other filters in the past that were not as loud as this one.
Since replacing the old filter with this one, my electric bill has more than doubled.
