I am not familiar with your particular furnace but I wouldn't think a filter of this type would cause any overheating.

I would say yes you can. As long as you use it the same way as your furnace use's any air filter. it just replaces the air filter that all furnaces need.

It should not cause a problem with the furnace, MERV 11 is a higher rating for trapping particulates.See this site http://www.filters4life.com/What-is-MERV-rating-s/4961.htm among others for a better idea.

We have a Trane with AUX Heat. There are wiring options that covered mine. It should be the same with your application.

I didn't measure mine to see if the size was a bit smaller or larger. The fit very well into my furnace and I've had no issues. I was using a 16x25x4 filter previously. The filters I bought through Amazon have worked just as well as the ones I purchased previously from the furnace company. Good luck.

I have been using these filters for some time now and never any issues, these filters seem to do a very good job at catching fine dust and dog dander. I do change mine more often than the manufacturer recommendation, I do so every 2-3 weeks just to make sure that my system is not working harder to keep up.

James, Don't buy anything other than genuine GE filters which in my case are the FX12P and FX12M. Anything else will not give you satisfactory results in terms of capacity, taste, purity, etc. Anything else is just junk and I'm going to replace the cheap ones with the genuine ones at the first opportunity.

There are 2 filters. The outer filter is pleated measuring 9 1/2 X 16 1/2 X 2 inches. The inner filter is is "sock" type and is stated to trap dust down to 1 micron. The manual says both filters can be cleaned several times before they need replacing. I would discourage using a furnace type filter because they are not designed to filter dust down to the low particle size required to filter properly. Using such would most likely saturate the inner filter very quickly and could cause motor overload.

This filter is specifically for a central forced air furnace system. most window AC units I've seen are quite a bit smaller, and a different material.

We have it in our MBR hooked into our natural gas connection that feeds our fireplace. It's been connected for one year with no issues other than the initial burn-off smell that only lasts a day or two.I highly recommend that you have your gas company hook it up. Ours did and they only charged us about $150 for the install of the unit and the hookup and parts. Better Safe than Sorry.

Personally I would try the one by Solrus which one reviewer said worked with his Trane (misspelled as Tran). This one worked on a very old GE but it was listed. I wouldn't trust any of the claims for "more" unless your specific brand is listed. Sorry.

its reusable filter wash it off with water, if you have it running 24/7 i would check it once a month with your HVAC filter as it can get full of dust and kill the unit faster.

Keep the filter clean and run it as hard as you want and when it breaks throw it out and get a Comfort Furnace 1500UV, absoluotely the best made heater on the market right now.

Yes and No.The higher the Merv rating, the more strain you will put on your furnace/blower. The more denser (Higher Merv rating) the filter, the more your blower motor will have to work. Of course, you will pull out more particles/dust/pollen etc out of the air, with a higher Merv rating. I have a variable speed blower motor/fan, so my Hvac technician can adjust my blower/fan speed. For my house, approx. 1600 sq ft, I found the Filtrate 1000 (Approx Merv rating of 11) to be ideal, with my two cats. I also buy charcoal pre filters here on Amazon and use them with my filter. They also tend to pick up a lot of stuff out of the air. I then vacume both the filter and pre filter (with a Hepa vacume cleaner) at least twice a month. I then change my furnace filter every 4 to 6 weeks-even though the filters would be good for at least 90 days. This may be considered excessive but my Hvac tech states my coils are always clean and the house is cool/warm when I want it. Next time your Hvac tech is at your house and servicing your system, ask him/her what they recommend.

Not a HEPA, and a good thing too, since most(just about all) home furnace systems would find a HEPA filter much too air-flow restrictive! Even some filters less than HEPA can be too air-flow restrictive. Best to know what your furnace system can handle.

The filters I had lasted three years. I had plastic melt on my stove and I used the fan to get rid of the smell. I'm sure that shortened the life of the filter. I had only used the fan less than once a week.
