You have to buy at least 4 to get the 50% off; it's recommended to replace every 2-3 months, so this is basically a years worth of filters. Deal works on most sizes. Good reviews.

Too many HVAC guys have told me otherwise.. In fact, I'd say I've NEVER heard an HVAC guy say it's 'misconception'
When you stretch the pleats out to a flat surface the surface area may be different depending on the depth and number of pleats. You are assuming that the pleating is done in the exact same way on all the filters and that the fiber materiel is exactly the same in all the filters and that the only difference in filters is that some have more layers of material than others. That's a lot of assumptions.
Merv 8 nothing higher on hvac system, higher merv more static pressure and restricted airflow. If you wanna filter your house use an air purifier

I've had a washable filter for years and years. I can tell you They Do Work. I'm one of those people who gets into things hands on. At one point - like 8 years ago I decided to open up the ductwork and take a look at the coil in there. I don't know what the former owner used (I think it was just fiber) but the coil was filthy. I cleaned it all out and then installed a washable filter.

Last year I reopened the coil wondering if it should be recleaned. Nope. It was barely dirty. I cleaned it anyway because I had the duct opened up.

Heck yes they work. On mine i can take it apart so I can see the dirt and pet hair in it.

Project Farm tested filters. Their conclusion was that unless you got a really thick filter - like 2 inches in depth +, the higher the filtering the more air flow was reduced. That makes sense. The thicker the filter the more material can go into it without packing it in as tightly = more flow and likely longer duration before the filter clogs.

The washable they tested isn't the one I own, but it did a fine job, scoring about in the middle for the 1 inch category.

Yeah, I saw that video earlier and decided to keep my washable filter. I believe the one they tested is the exact one I bought. Right now, I don't even have a filter, because I just moved in and the previous person living here didn't use a filter I guess. I have no idea how good the coils are right now.

I figure let the A/C do it's thing, and get an air cleaner do it's thing.

I appreciate you sharing all that. It helps re-enforce my decision!

Maybe try zoro.com. You can combine cash back with discount coupons that they send you. Their prices can be on the high side, though, and you have to order enough for free shipping.

Quote from Joe123456 :
I assume that you don't believe the HDX filter information either. Yes, I know companies do sometimes make false claims about their product. You might notice that some of the pleated filters are 3/4" thick while others are 1' thick. The thicker ones have more pleated filter material and therefore more surface area and therefore less resistance than a thinner filter with less material (everything else being the same.) I'm not saying that the higher MERV filters always have less resistance. I'm saying that higher MERV doesn't always imply greater resistance. I'm not surprised that you have never had an HVAC guy tell you that it's a misconception. I don't think that I have either, but I wouldn't try to educate them or they will probably be insulted.
Are you an HVAC guy? If not, why do you seemingly 'speak' as if you know more than they do?

"But I wouldn't try to educate them ..". Huh?

No, I'm not an HVAC guy but we all have the capacity to learn if we don't let our ego's get in the way. I trust Home Depot and 3M to know more about the filters that they manufacture and sell than your typical HVAC repairman.

I just got my Costco circular for May/June. It has Filtrete 2500 filters on sale for $35 for a 4-pack. I'll let someone else make a separate thread about it if there is not one already. Begins May 15th.

LOL. If you have reason to believe the former occupant used no filter, chances are good the coil is absolutely filthy. Mine was nasty and there was some kind of half ass filter in there.
I recommend examining the ductwork above the furnace for some type of opening strategy. I had to make cuts into the front facing panel with tin snipes to slide it off the pipes. I seal those small cuts up after with aluminum ducting tape.

It took at least an hour to clean out what they left using a long brush, a product like Scrubbing bubbles and a five gallon bucket. It was gross.

Do you know what th ey do if they professionally clean it?

I cleaned the filter area, and it was filthy. Caked on dust. The only way to get into it is to cut the box, and I bet the coils are equally nasty. Why don't they make these A/Cs with easier access to clean. Seeesh!

The same reason for everything, $$$. I mean, people think it's a windfall when someone shows up to fix their outside unit and it only costs $175 because it was only a capacitor. I replaced said capacitor for $20.

I wouldn't know what they use but it's likely the same thing we would use. Radiator type cleaner (scrubbing bubbles) and a some type of brush with water also. You can't clean the coil with some magic trick where you do not have to enter the duct. Just get your hands dirty and look for a way in. Watch Youtube, they may have some info on there.

Before I run my AC this year I'm probably going to go out and open up the outside unit to clean the condenser out. Same idea, scrubbing bubbles and a sprayer and brush. Hardest part about that job is dealing with the sheet metal.

The problem with the higher MERV is that most HVAc return air vents are drastically undersized. I have a 4 ton unit and my return air opening was 18 x 12 or 216 square inches. It's suppose to be 125 per ton or roughly that. 216 vs 500 is a big difference. I added another return air vent in a closet it backs up to enlarged the old one to 20 x 20 when replacing the unit 4 years ago. Not perfect but not much much better.

Thanks, OP.

My 4 filters were crushed and bent upon delivery. I had to exchange them in store and the gentleman at customer service indicated that this is a common problem when shipped.
