Aprilaire Stock 2200 Filter Media, 2-Pack

Comment: I have an Aprilaire 2200 that calls for the #201 replacement filter. I normally have this filter changed once per year. This year has been a long hot summer and my AC Unit has been running overtime. So, I checked my filter at 9 months, and sure enough it was filthy--which means it has been doing its job!

My plumber charges me $53 for this same filter-not including the service call. So I figured I'd try Amazon before I called them for just a simple filter change. I tried another company's product (20x25x6 Merv 8)that says it was a replacement for the Aprilaire 2200, and found that it didn't really fit my unit. It was a lower quality and their were less pleats than the original and they were going in a different direction, which doesn't allow for the black separating combs to be used. I since returned those, and found this replacement where the picture verified the actual replacement filter. So, after promptly receiving these (2 PACK for the price of 1), I quickly did the filter change. It really only takes minutes to replace. If you can't figure it out on your own, the easy steps are printed right on the carton.

Better quality (Merv 10) at half the cost!

Comment: Saved significant cash (over HVAC service company price) for these filters which are a snap to install. Buy with confidence from this vendor.

Comment: Half of my order showed up! But after contacting the Supplier they had a great response and very nice to work with. They were quick to complete my order. I would purchase from them again!!!

Comment: A couple of years ago, I had a new ac/heater system installed, from the ground up. The contractor was very enthused about Aprilaire Filters, setting up the system to utilize Aprilaire 2200. I was very surprised when I first saw the huge size of the filters (they are several inches deep, and do look like an accordion), and read that one filter could last up to a year before changing, while performing at high efficiency for removal of airborne allergens.

After the job was completed, I asked where I might find replacement filters. I was disappointed when told that the closest supplier was halfway across town. This was a big inconvenience, for someone who had previously been able to purchase filters from the local grocery store. I was upset I had not been given this piece of information prior to installation, because I might have decided on a different system.

On a lark, I decided to search Amazon to see if they sold Aprilaire Filters---and there they were. Now, not only did I not have to drive for over an hour for replacements, these filters were delivered to my door with the click of a button, with speedy, professional service.

I must admit that the first time I replaced the filter, myself, I did resort to some cursing. This is not a simple slide the old one out, and slide the new one in, system. This one requires some construction, loading the filter media into the permanent frame. But, after the second change, it became easier, and no longer a dreaded task.

As far as the filtration goes, these filters do NOT last a year in my home. But, I do have a 115 lb, long-haired dog, that tracks in a lot of dirt and dust, despite my best efforts to keep him clean. I won't go over 6 months, to ensure maximum efficiency, so this does add to the cost factor, for me. Still, overall, I'm satisfied---more so, with the convenience of delivery.

Comment: I've been using Aprilaire 2200 for eleven years. My wife and son both have allergies and the filters seem to help. They could be easier to change, but it only takes five minutes. It is much less expensive for me to buy online and replace than to have a furnace repair person do it.
