I use these in place of regular HVAC filters. The 4" depth adds surface are which reduces air flow resistance. My home systems for people with breathing problems includes multiple 20 x 20 x 4 inch filters. My 2400 sq ft home has 5 filters. The efficiency of the HVAC system is not degraded yet the air is best for sufferers of breathing problems such as asthma, RADS, or allergies.
Space between rails in Lennox furnace for their 5” filter is only 4 7/16”. The filtrete 5” filter is 4 11/16” thick. Going to try filtrete 4” filter that is 4.31” thick.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This Filtrete filter was recommended by my hvac installer and it’s worked great for me. I tried a cheaper brand and my allergies seemed to be noticeably worse. I only with they made the 20X25X4 in the smart option.
Just purchased a 16x25x5 model for my furnace, and this does not fit.

The 4 inch width is actually more like 4.5 inches. They don't fit in out filter box.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I use 16x20x4 inch MERV 12 filters from Filtrete because they have the best build quality of all the filter brands I have used. I just have an issue with the vague MERV rating for a particular filter. Filtrete uses their own rating system (1550 for example) and then I have to do some research to find the MERV rating.
