“I have been using filterbuy for a while now. These large surface area filters reduce the frequency of changing the filter while still doing a great filtering job. I have a rental cabin and the rental agency was charging $20 per month just to remove and replace with the cheap non-filtering fiberglass 1" filters. I put a halt to that and now replace my cabin filter once every six months at the earliest. A huge cost savings!!” - Jim L.
“I recently purchased from you and changed out my filter. I have an air purifier in our home that often reports our air is "moderate". Since changing the filter and giving it a day to cycle, our purifier hasn't moved from "good" (highest rating) since! I also noticed I had to turn our heat down 2 degrees on the thermostat as the temp we usually kept it at was too warm now! So thank you very very much for a high quality filter for a lower price, that will save us some on electric and has improved the air in our home!!” - Andrea
