    You literally answered every question I had in depth. I recommend my homeowners to shoot for a Merv 6 or MPR300-600 as well, I've seen lots of homeowners use the Purple 3M or Kirkland (costco) brand, the worst.
    You're one of the few youtubers/tech that puts out a golden video, every, single, time. Every second is truly invested and not wasted.
    Thank you Jay.

      Why is the Kirkland the worst? And thanks

    • @agahajak
      @agahajak 3 года назад

      @@orbelina6508 It's heavy pleated, which requires frequent filter changes, depending on where you live (busy road/lots of pollution, pet fur, etc) because they clog up a lot quicker than say, a 'MERV 6' filter.
      I come across so many No Heat calls and most of them are because of the heavy pleated filters that trip the High limit switch in the furnace.

    LOl.! I've been trying to find my filter and I can seem to locate it. I have my furnace that is up in my attic and hung horizontally. It looks completely sealed up so my guess is my ceiling has 3 of these filters and that must be the only place that they are. I live in AZ and it's extremely dusty here so that makes sense. You have been the only person I've found on RUclips to bring this up so thank you!
