Apartment furnace filters

[ozzeran]

Anyone know where to get custom odd ball sized furnace filters?

Home Depot had a custom order form and the size wasn't on there, it asked to call them with your size if you don't find it so I haven't tried it (but will unless ya'll know somewhere). I looked online and could not find any exactly the same.

Spoke to apartment and she checked with maintenance man, she said he tried looking for that size before (for the better allergy reduction filters) and he could not find it.

What size is it?

home depot sells an "adjust to fit" washable filter for $12.

Heh, I'll have to add to this thread when I get home after 11pm.

Hmm that's cool but looking for more of a allergy reducing one if possible.

Just take the old one out and bang it against the wall a few times, knock the dust and crap out.

They sell big rolls of cut to fit filter material, in allergen reducing flavor to boot. Do work.

Haha. Well I know the fiberglass ones works better when there is a layer of dust on them

Isn't replacing the filters the responsibility of the management company? I know when i used to live in an apartment i was working nights and it seemed like the bastards were always knocking and then coming in immediately to replace them. I scared a few of them when i would come walking around the corner LOL.....

Haha, yeah they said just let them know every 3 months, so guess I have to remind myself.

Btw, size is: 9 3/4 x 29 3/4 x 7/8in

I know it isn't local, but this place has odd ball sizes available, and can custom make any size.

I've got 2 HVAC systems with the big 20x25x5 furnace filters and I found a place on ebay that sells filters at a very reasonable price. They are roughly half what I can get them for locally....

Maybe he'll have something that will work for you....
