Defective, came dislodged in furnace
I was excited to purchase these filters, as they were cost effective so I could afford to replace them more often. I put the first one in shortly after receiving them a little less than a month ago. It looked fine and fit as expected in my furnace. Fast forward a few weeks, and my house is cold. I have the thermostat set at 69 & the house won't get above 62. I double checked all my windows and doors. I adjusted the thermostat. I was at a loss. As a last ditch effort before an HVAC appointment, I checked the filter (that I had replaced only a few weeks ago) & found it jammed in the furnace, with the wires bowed. When I finally got it out, I saw the filter was damaged and plugging the intake. I replaced it with a different filter and within an hour my house was warm again. Spend a few extra bucks and get a different filter! Not worth the extra stress and potential danger of a defective air filter.
