X6672 Lennox Healthy Climate 16x25x5 Merv 16 Filter

The cost of a furnace filter is not something everyone believes to be worth it. Despite the fact that people can see through the 5 for $5 blue fiberglass filters, some still buy them. This may work if you are trying to prevent birds or other small animals from entering your blower fan, but this is an You can now choose from a variety of wonderful furnace filters. Taking a look at today's better filters is definitely worth your while if you are concerned about the air quality inside your home. Unlike other filters, this Lennox filter contains a great deal more filter emelenent material than others. You are unlikely to find a furnace of better quality than this one. The MERV 16 rating is about average for furnaces. In addition to the activated carbon that removes odors from the air, this filter also contains calcium chloride. A year's supply of hospital-level filtration can be obtained from this filter. Filters like this one have the highest efficiency available for furnaces. A whole house furnace could be tuned to a level near that of HEPA filters, but HEPA filters are only available for room purifiers and are not conducive to efficient airflow. As far as losing efficiency and reduced air flow from your furnace is concerned, there is no need for concern. Filters are more efficient when used in this system. When compared to other filters, it has a high flow rating, yet still has a high filter efficiency. I'd be scrupulous when looking at other cheapee filters claiming to be MERV 16, but when you look at what this Lennox MERV 16 actually is, I'd be skeptical. A great deal of thought and care went into the construction. To maintain the integrity of the filter pleats, support units have been incorporated. There are many filters with the same MERV rating, but not all of them On Amazon you will find MERV 16 rated filters from Green Label, which is highly regarded. In the attached photos I have included pictures of the new Lennox filter next to the used filter. It's amazing how different the materials and construction are. Filters of the Green Label line look very similar to Lennox MERV 11 filters, but not at all similar to filters of the CC 16 series. The first thing to notice is that the filter elements are MUCH larger. Pleats cover two sides of the surface area of each one, so there are many of them. With double the pleats, a filter has twice the surface area. Mathematically speaking, this makes sense. In reality, it is not the surface area of the filter that matters, nor is the filter material that increases its ability to trap What determines the efficiency of a filter is the construction of the filter element media, or in other words, the size of the particles it can trap compared to other filters. When it comes to the amount of dirt a filter can hold, the surface area or material of the filter comes into play. It doesn't matter how small a filter's pores are if it doesn't have enough surface area, it will filter down a fraction of a micron, quickly overload, and exceed its capacity, requiring replacement much sooner than a filter with much bigger pores. The filter becomes more efficient because of all the pleats added to it. Filters that trap smaller particles with more pleats and surface area will be built to provide high filtration efficiency. The smallest particles are trapped in these filters, thus they are able to collect more dirt than other filters, and the added surface area is utilized to hold the dirt and therefore they last a long time before they reach their In the case of the Lennox-sized Green Label filter, it will have a much shorter lifespan since it filters at the same MERV 16 rating as its Lennox-sized counterpart. There is a much higher likelihood that that filter would reach its maximum capacity much sooner and need to be replaced A Lennox can last for 12 months before it needs replacement, while the lesser pleat Green Label would last for only 6 months. In other words, the cheaper filter will cost you less money, but you'll need to replace it twice as frequently. Eventually, the more expensive Lennox filter will end up costing less since you won't need to replace it as frequently. The long-term cost savings will be combined with better air filtration and reduced odors from activated carbon. I absolutely love this outfit. The fit is perfect. The quality is superb. There is a much higher degree of effectiveness than with There is an additional cost to this filter as well as other filters, but it is not unreasonable when you consider the better air quality that this filter provides.

The filter seems to be real, and it's about $30 cheaper than what my local HVAC contractor There are certainly dust balls inside the filter the last one I pulled out of the furnace slot was covered in what looked like dust. It is the highest Merv 16 setting without having to use a HEPA filter, according to my HVAC company. It's also the best air filtering you can get for a gas furnace, given that it's installed in a relatively unobstructed atmosphere.

Carrier Infinity was already a part of my The following is an update on my Carrier Infinity HVAC system after six months of use These filters have now been put to work in the winter as well as the summer and have done an excellent After six months of use, the Infinity system has had no problems regarding its blower and airflow. The blower is almost continuously running at a low level and extremely sensitive to airflow issues. A few observations *** * * It is true that the carbon element of the filter gives the home an air of cleanliness. When walking in the front door, you wouldn't know that there's a dog here since there's no pet smell. There is a noticeable "freshness" to it as a result of the carbon. *** * * Mold is always a concern in our older home, and I am constantly on guard for it. Although I don't have any scientific evidence for that mold is being prevented by the filters, I can attest that after a very wet spring and summer, I haven't had to do mold cleaning or painting that I would have done in the past. The filter has been of great help to me as an allergy sufferer. Even when the trees are in full bloom, I can sleep soundly. There is a fresh air system in our home that mixes outside air with the air in our home. Filters I have had before did not work well enough to stop my allergies. The filter is able to deal with my allergies even when it is exposed to fresh air from the outside. *** * * It was quite expensive when I was first using the filter, but it seems reasonable now that I've had it for some time. We are more comfortable at home, have fewer dust particles, are able to sleep well during allergy season, and have no problems with airflow even with the high standard of The air quality is very important to me, and I think these filters are excellent so far, and I will replace them with those same filters next time. **A new version of this review is attached. **A new review is attached. I have been working on this project for quite a while There is no doubt about the quality of this furnace filter. Comparing the surface area of this filter with others that I have tried shows a clear difference. I had a Carrier Infinity system with a MERV 8 filter installed. In the event of restricted airflow, a fault will be generated. My search for a Lennox filter led me to discover that it has almost twice the number of ridges, so airflow is increased without reducing filtration. Despite switching to other filters, I got a system error within 48 hours of doing so. My system has been using this filter without error for almost a week now. *Also worth noting I will post an update if anything changes or if the filter life is too short to make the filter worthwhile. Activated carbon helped me stay cozy this winter and I will never go back to the old system. There is always a fresh smell in the house. Considering it would be a good idea.
