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?


To clean the dust and pollen out of the air, so that my asthmatic
husband
isn't inconvenienced in the breathing department. We probably
shouldn't
open the windows at all, but sometimes we just can't resist.
