I had a new unit installed and the fan runs continuously. But my electric usage is down. I have four cats and one large hairy dog; live in a dusty environment and need to change filters every two weeks. The big box store was charging almost a dollar more for a MERV 5 filter and I had to bend them to get them to fit, which left gaps along the sides. These filters fit and they cost quit a bit less than what I would have paid for a MERV 8 in store.
While I have not yet installed the newly received filters, I suspect they will work just fine. Construction seems nice and durable and I am sure they will perform satisfactorily at better price than what I was paying for the same sized filters from local retailers.
I always hated buying furnace filters. Box stores were always expensive, if they had them in stock. Filterbuy is a very decent price for buying a years worth a time. I change my furnace filter monthly due to have a smaller filter and also with pets. The shipment is always very quick and comes well packaged. Highly recommend Filterbuy!
Thinner than quality filters (supposed to be 1", but it is not). Does not provide a proper seal. Air can leak around border Also, cardboard not as sturdy/thick as my usual brand.
