Comments about Aprilaire Aprilaire 213 Media Filter:

Prior the the aprilaire i had a electronic filter that worked find BUT (i had two) they broke, they were a [*] to clean and used energy to work.Aprilaire causes less dust to get on the furniture (according to my wife) which would seem to me that the air is cleaner -and it only cost the cost of the element.

I would buy from IAQSOURCE again

Comments about Aprilaire Aprilaire 213 Media Filter:

This is the second time I've purchased AprilAire 213 Media Filters ("whole house filters") from iaqsource.com. In our previous house we had "regular" flat filters in several places in our ceiling, and I didn't even know that there was such a thing as a whole house filter. When we bought our current home 3 years ago it already had this type of filter system in the attic.

I've been told that this type of filter is more efficient at removing dust particles, allergens, etc. than the "regular" room-type filters that one can buy at big-box home improvement stores, that are installed in the ceiling.

Even though these filters are much more expensive than the kind we used to use, when you consider that they only need to be changed on average 2 times per year, vs. 4 or 5 for the other type of flat filters, you actually save a lot of money by using this whole-house filter.

I will say that when I recently needed to order more of these filters, I did a lot of searching for prices on the Internet, and the prices at iaqsource.com were by far the best, especially when buying multiple filters (I bought 5 and used a coupon code to receive a discount).

The filter works well and the original was in for over the recommended 1 year, with a Golden Retriever in the house. The replacement is a little pricy but worth it for performance and convenience.

Comments about Aprilaire Aprilaire 213 Media Filter:

This is the 2nd one I've had, the 1st one fell apart rather easily when I had to remove it for a completely unrelated issue. Of course the 2nd one seems to have made a big improvement almost immediately, of course it probably helped that I waited 9 mo's to replace it, rather than the reccomended 6.

Great price, not a cheap immitation
