“There's nothing really wrong with this filter except it is expensive and you can get it only at a few places like plumbingsupplyandmore. You can't get one from the plumbingsupplyandmore or Lowes and most mom and pop hardware stores. You must order them in.Had I known this, I would have stuck to the regulator old fiberglass air filter and been done with it. Perhaps not as good as the Aprilaire? I don't know, but a whale of a lot cheaper!”
“I don't know how good this filter is, I change it on regular basis (3-6 months, depends on how often we use the HVAC), it shows color different as the dust piped up.”
“Been using these high performance filters for some time now, and just not sure they are worth the price. I have two units, and change filters in the spring and fall, so they do last for at least 6 months. I think they work well and longevity is good, but still they are expensive.”
“Dealer installed an Aprilaire unit on a new furnace. They last twice as long but cost 4 times as much as the old standard 1-inch filters. Seems no hardware store carries them, and no other brand makes a filter to fit in same unit. Thus, no competition. These work great but relatively expensive to use when compared to old 1-inch filters that were available in numerous stores and made by various brands.”
