Okay, so I've been through SO many air filters trying to deal with my dust allergies and two shedding cats. This Filtrete 4-pack? LIFE. CHANGER.

First off - yes, the size is slightly different than 'standard' (19.88 x 24.63 x 4.31). My HVAC guy had to double check, but it fits our Lennox system perfectly. Pro tip: MEASURE YOUR SLOT before ordering!

The dust reduction is insane. Like 'wait...did I already dust this week?' insane. My allergy symptoms have noticeably improved within days of installation.

With pets though? Change more often! I do every 3 months instead of the recommended 12 because my cats are basically fuzzy tumbleweeds. Worth every penny.

The only con: It's THICK (that MERV 12 filtration). Our furnace fan works slightly harder, but the air quality difference makes it totally worth it.

Subscribe & Save makes these cheaper than Home Depot too. Just saying.
