Buy General Aire 13156

Customer Ratings:

Purchased this item from the same vendor two years in a row and could not be happier. The item arrived packed in what I describe in "green" packing materials (shredded publication materials newsprint, magazines etc.) I am on board with the way this item was packaged but my curiosity was piqued when I grabbed filter box located inside the packing materials. At first I thought to myself "no shrink wrap on a MERV-11 filter box?" So I decided since it was a new filter what could be the harm. I proceeded to change the filter in my HVAC system and when I un-boxed the new filter (after I discarded the "full" old filter) I suddenly realized that the new filter was covered in shredded paper "dust" some very large pieces and many many small pieces. Before I knew it I was vacuuming the new filter to "clean" it before installing it into my HVAC system. It was at that point I said to myself "Hmmm vacuuming a $30 new filter before installation, why am I doing this exactly?" But, in the heat of the summer I need the HVAC system so there was no turning back. So the filter itself from a performance based rating gets a 5 star rating from me. The over-all experience for me on this purchase 2 stars.

I don't have any complaints about this filter. It seems to be doing it's job. I wish it was bit cheaper.

Best Deals for General Aire 13156

This filter costs less than from the OEM item through the dealer, and is of equal quality or better. We have 3 SEER 18 heat pumps with back-up gas furnaces, and they are checked every 6 months at semi-annual maintenance visits by the dealer. They last about18 to 24 months, and are superior to most other systems for keeping the house largely dust-free.
