For the first time in 53 years of owning homes, my new house has a
furnace and uses filters. It takes a 1" filter.
I see prices can vary considerably but is a MERV 8 and MERV 8 regardless
of the brand? Should I use MERV 8 or MERV 11? We have no pets.
I see filters with MERV 11 rating from $9.95 ($7.45ea by a dozen) to
$14.50. Any real difference if they have the same rating?
Discount filters seems cheapest.


I like to find a good deal - and buy 2 - 3 years worth.
My filters are 20 x 20 x 1 and I try to change them every
5 weeks ~ 4 or 5 filters per year no summer A/C

Fill your boots.

A piece of green painters tape applied to the filter edge
with the install date marked is a handy reminder.
