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

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.

THE BEST THING TO DO IS TO PURCHASE & than compare with your old one, u can always return itI purchase for my Trane Furnace Model X151062L30 year builted 1997 good fit

If you use regular 20x25x1 Furnace filters in your heat pump, then I don't see why not. Just pay attention to the "Air flow direction" on the edge of this filter. I have convention furnace myself, I LOVE this filter. Cleans easy, and air quality has gone WAY up in the house.

If one has an ac/heater appliance that uses a filter,& there is a filtrete elite filter that will fit in the filter slot then these would work well.I have been very pleased with them & there is far less dust & odors around now.Just measure the old filter carefully & find the filter that matches.

Personally I would not as your unit will not get volume of air needed for normal operations and will probably burn up your blower motor. This filter filters better because it is way more dense than a standard furnace filter.

Best way is to change filter per summer/winter season....just swipe one in before heating season starts and then when A/C season starts replace with new one. These are great filters and they do collect a lot of dust if you are running A/C all summer long like I do. But if you live in area where you do not use A/C or furnace fan a lot then you might be good to run it for 12 months. Visual inspection of filter will tell you how much dust has collected and then make judgment if the air flow through the filter is restricted a lot or not.

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.

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.

I've used it for the furnace in my house. You'll have to remove the old filter and check the size to be sure.

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.

I own two of them and I have never had that problem. Check to make sure that the filter screen is not dirty and clogged, I know that this will make it run hot.

I am not qualified to answer that question. You should ask the manufacturer of the filters. They would be best to know what their filters are made for.

Unless you have someone with allergies, I would not. My house is over 100 years old, and I didn't need one except for my daughters allergies. BTW, the new unit should have come with a new A-coil, and new line set. Why replace just the outside unit? I think any reputable contractor would have replaced the line set, and the A-coil. My first central A/C unit (and A-coil) lasted 14 years (and after 14 years, the A-coil wasn't that dirty). I only replaced them due to age, and energy efficiency. Perhaps you just need to change your furnace filter more often. I am assuming he recommended the filter due to a dirty A-coil. Just my 2 cents. Unless you have someone with allergies, I would not.

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.

We have washed the filter and no problem has occured but I do not know if I were not supposed to wash it.They are at sale at amazon.com though. (Item model number: XA500012)
