New Gas Forced Hot Air Furnace Quest's: Filter Brand, And Furn. Sizing ?
Hello:
Have two questions regarding a contemplated new gas forced
hot air furnace.
a. Regarding the Filter for the furnace:
Anyone have any opinions on the Air Bear brand of filters vs the Dynamic
Filters Company ones, which are apparently an electrostatic type ?
Pros and cons ?
b. Realize there are a zillion variables involved such as insulation,
windows,
house orientation, etc., and that a Manual J is really required, but was
wondering if there is a generally accepted, very approximate, rule-of-thumb
"yardstick" for furnace size in BTU/hr ?
Perhaps as a function of house square footage per level ?
Would be for a typical multi/split level in northern New England
Thanks,
Bob
