The 3M Filtrete Dust Reduction filter is a great choice for anyone looking to make the change from lower performing fiberglass and non-electrostatic pleated filters. This filter is also ideal for high-velocity systems heating/cooling systems and has good frame strength. Filter frame strength is important becuase if a frame bends or collapses, it can be drawn into the furnace or air conditioner fan and damage your system. Filtrete filters are designed to hold up even under severe conditions.
