Hi

Do filters store well when wrapped in plastic? If buying a six pack and
each filter lasts 60 days, that's three year's worth. Will they keep
for
three years?

Thanks,

Sam

Actually six 60-day filters is one year's worth.


Only if you run the AC/heat every single day for a year.


as they should be even if only on fan,
a: to keep the evaporator dried out when not in use
b: to move air



Even on autumn or spring days when the windows are open and there's a 68
degree breeze blowing through the house? Run the fan? Why?
