Brand New Furnace Air Filters, FREE
I have four 20 X 20 X 5 furnace air filters, MIRV 11, brand new, still in the box, that are FREE. No catch, no gimmick...I ordered and paid for 4 new filters online and they shipped the incorrect size. They then shipped me the correct filters at no charge, but they do not take the incorrect ones back.

Semi-related, for 99% of residential HVAC setups MERV11 filters will end up performing WORSE than a MERV8 level filter.
People get caught up too much on the small particle capture aspect of a MERV11 filter, but long story short, the #1 thing that helps get pollutants out of your air is volume of air movement through your filter. A MERV8 filter will, in most cases, allow significantly more air volume movement, and by extension result in greater net particle capture, than a MERV 11 filter. You might actually find that your filters get dirty faster, which indicates they are working, and then you'll also appreciate that MERV8's are typically much cheaper than MERV11's.

Not exactly...
They are "generic" Air Bears. I was not able to find actual Trion Air Bear filters, so ended up purchasing "replacement for Trion Air Bear".
They look exactly like the real one, only without the logo. |
