@zdeddy: Y'all put MERV 8 filters on yalls 20 year old 12 seer AC units and wonder why yalls crack sweat is running down your legs..#hvac #electrician #filters #Home #homeimprovement
My heating/air guy told me to buy the cheapest one and change every 30 days. He said the thick 90-day filters are the worst thing you can use

He’s right, your A/C unit isn’t an air purifier. If you have bad allergies or pets buy a stand alone air purifier.

I had an air conditioning repair man who wore overalls, had a cigarette almost permanently stuck (hands free) to his lips, and a truck that smoked more than he did tell me the cheap filters are the best, and I believed him.

My AC guy told me the same thing. He also said no matter how many days a filter says they’re good for, 30,60,90 days, ALWAYS change every 30 days regardless of

30 years in HVAC I only use the cheap ones. It’s only to filter the air goin thru ur furnace/evap coil. If people are concerned about allergies use air purifiers.

I was told this by the company who installed my new unit. They told me to get the flat filters without the pleats and keep them changed regularly.

those cheap ones don't do well enough to filter out my allergens in the spring and fall.

So what's the point of having a filter then??

Maddy :
Nah. We get less dust using the first option. Just change it out every 30 days and keep the area vacuumed and coils clean. The cheaper one gets sucked up (correct size) and way more dust flowing through the vents.
