Measure twice, cut once also applies when measuring for your filter requirements. I first ordered a standard size and the furnace collapsed the filter. I re-measured and had this custom size filter made and now everything is working correctly!
I recommend the merv 11 filters, before we used merv 8 and I would wake up in the morning with a throat full of phlegm and a scratchy voice. Really seems like the merv 11 traps more particals. I would buy them again.
