Customer Review: restricts airflow, shuts down furnace, could damage equipment
Summary: 1 Stars
I wanted better filtration because of allergies. Thought I'd try the Filtrete 1700 (blue package), the Max-Allergen BEST FILTER (with the 1700 rating).
Slapped it in and the house just would not get warm or stay warm. We punched the temperature up a little Still not feeling warm. Then the furnace actually SHUT DOWN. I pulled the Filtrete filter and everything started working again.
Strange.
Called 3M Filtrete customer service. Explained the situation. We have a newer two-speed 80% efficiency furnace. They were mystified. They suggested I replace the filter. I explained that you could still see sunlight through the filter, it was only slightly dirty. But I went out and bought another one anyway.
Things seemed a little better (no furnace shut down) but it was still much cooler in the house. The furnace didn't seem to be doing its job very well. Pulled the Filtrete 1700 and put back the old washable electrostatic filter I'd used for years. Twenty minutes later the house feels much warmer and airflow is significantly better.
Side note: When I put the old filter back in, the furnace felt much warmer than usual. I am convinced that the filter was significantly restricting airflow and would eventually cause it to be damaged. I doubt the damage would have been just to the blower motor. I am concerned that it could also damage the heat exchanger, because of the additional call for heat that the furnace could NOT deliver with the Filtrete filter in place. Crack a heat exchanger and you stand the risk of poisoning your family with CO2 fumes. To say that I am uneasy about using Filtrete is an understatement.
