I recommend these
The filters were as expected from the description. Fit perfectly and shipped timely. Good transaction.
Always order my HVAC filters from Atomic for my Skuttle high efficiency filtering system.. Arrive timely and no problems. Thank you!
Hard to find your web-site as ab alternative to Skuttle. But when I did I was able to easily order and take delivery in a timely fashion.
Now that Skuttle is out of business, I thought I wasn't going to have any more filters available. Atomic Filters to the rescue. These filters fit just like the OEM ones. Looking forward to ordering more.
