28X34 MERV 11  This is apparently an odd balll size.  Right now I have some in the cart on amazon for $27.42 a pop.  Anyone aware of a more economidal source?  According to my math, that equates to approx 30 cents a day with a 90 day change interval.  Confused

Get some that are half the size on one side and tape 2 together. That's what I do to get a 30'X31" without paying a fortune.

Buying Tip: Nominal vs. Actual Size

Because 28x34x1 is a non-standard size, some manufacturers tape two smaller filters together to achieve the final dimension, which is an industry standard practice that does not affect performance. Always check the actual dimensions of your current filter to ensure a snug fit, as "Exact Fit" versions may differ slightly from "Nominal" versions. < jsuid="Ot4LZc_5r" ="0" -amic="true" -icl-uuid="1b05a6f6-273e-4ed4-ade4-1ed6de36a2af" aria-label="View related s" ="rBl3me" js="click:&Ot4LZc_5p|S9kKve;mouseenter:&Ot4LZc_5p|sbHm2b;mouseleave:&Ot4LZc_5p|Tx5Rb" -wiz-attrbind="=Ot4LZc_5p/C5gNJc;aria-label=Ot4LZc_5p/bOjMyf;=Ot4LZc_5p/UpSNec" -ved="2ahUKEwi92ae8v9iTAxVGpIkEHW3fE-QQye0OegQICRAB" -hveid="CAkQAQ" style="margin: 0px 6px 0px 0px; : rgb233, 235, 240; border-width: initial; border-style: none; border-color: initial; border-radius: 10px; height: 20px; padding: 0px; width: 20px; outline: 0px; cursor: pointer;"> http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" rel="nofollow - http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 24 24">
Would you like to compare bulk discounts for these filters, or are you looking for a washable permanent alternative instead?

i doubt your going to find it cheaper to buy two filters and tape them together...  28 x 34 is a  BIG FILTER... not sure why it needs to be that big unless that furnace is HUGE..  our 80,000 BTU furnace uses a 20 x 20 filter..... check the OUTLET size and see if the INLET could be framed smaller... 28 x 20 or 24 x 30 might be more common and might be all you need for square inches ??

You can save a little by going to MERV 8 instead of MERV 11... depending on your needs.

Like them all, but love the "B"s.

Might be worth buying a constructed High Efficiency Washable we did on our HP 30x30x2. Keep one throwaway to install as wash out permanent then it dries and goes back in.
