Honeywell vs Filterbuy Air Filter Comparison

Keeping the air in your home clean and fresh is a vital key to both personal comfort and overall health. Choosing the best air filters to do the job relies on key knowledge of the differences between products on the market. Things that look the same on the outside of the label are not always the same on the inside.

FilterBuy strives to deliver the best air filters, directly to consumers, at the best price. Here’s how we stack up to Honeywell, another brand in the market:

Air Filter Features Comparison

Comparison Notes

• Size compatibility: Like other original equipment manufacturers for furnaces and heat pumps, Honeywell products air filters designed to fit inside their own units. In addition, their products are compatible with some other models of furnaces and heat pumps. These filters are designed to fit inside the unit itself. Filterbuy carries a larger variety of options to suit any home. If you don’t own a Honeywell, Aprilaire, Space-Gard or Trion Air Bear unit (which are the brands Honeywell can replace), you can find brand replacement filters for other brands as well.

  For those looking for a filter that goes in the return air filter of your home, you can usually find 17 different sizes under the Honeywell brand. However, it’s not uncommon for homes to have odd-sized return ducts you have air filters in your return vents you need to replace, we’ve got those in hundreds of sizes.

• Price comparison: Filterbuy was started on the notion that we can offer a high-quality air filter product, on par or better than original equipment manufacturers, at a lower cost for the customer. With that in mind, we have succeeded:

  Products	Filterbuy Price (2 filters)	Honeywell Price (2 filters)
  20x25x4 FC100A1037 MERV 8	$43.80	$52.48
  20x25x4 FC100A1037 MERV 12/13	$58.34	$62.98
  16x25x5 FC100A1029 MERV 8	$45.96	$52.48
  16x25x5 FC100A1029 MERV 12/13	$61.78	$62.98

  Filterbuy also provides additional cost savings for buying in larger quantities (with per-filter price continuously improving as you buy up to 12 filters) and through our air filter subscription program.

• Effectiveness at removing allergens from the air: Honeywell’s Elite Allergen line (for the return air duct) has received praise for its ability to trap allergens. However, FilterBuy’s filters provide all the same allergy-removing capabilities as this brand:

  • High MERV/FPR rating that traps common allergens: dust, dander, pollen, mold spores
  • Electrostatic charge maximizes the efficiency of particles captured in the air filter
