About Filtrete 20x25x1, AC Furnace Air Filter
Overall Feedback:
81% positive
79% praised for improving indoor air quality
I want better air quality in my home and found recommendations on several health sites about the Filtrete filters. With my wife's allergies and our pets and kids, we need serious filtration.
With normal, intermittent heater operation, the filter cleared the air in my home.
76% liked its compatibility, but 24% had issues with compatibility
I was initially concerned about the 2800 series restricting airflow too much, but I have not noticed any difference in sound or the length of time my AC is running.
If we triple up the filters, we should achieve >98% efficiency for 0.3 - 1.0 micron particles and >99.999% efficiency for 1.0 - 3.0 micron particles, but it may not hold up exactly in practice.
High quality filters like this can cause the furnace to shut off eventually because they make it work too hard to push the air through, as my furnace guy told me.
83% liked the long-lasting filter, while 17% thought it needed frequent replacements
I was advised by the company that installed my furnace to get the cheapest filters possible to prolong the life of the furnace.
I advise changing the filter frequently and not leaving it in for too long, as I made the mistake of doing so myself.
I have gone through two filters from the 2 pack I ordered and they didn't last for 45 days each. The 90 day filters need to be changed at 60 days.
Living in my current location, the filter longevity is a downside as a three-month filter lasts only three weeks.
80% appreciated its high filtration efficiency
I triple up the filters to improve beyond MERV 14 without any breathing issues, which shows my positive sentiment towards the filtration efficiency of the filter.
76% appreciated the quieter operation
I was initially concerned that the 2800 series would restrict airflow too much, but I have not noticed any difference in sound or the length of time my AC is running.
