Thanks Mickey, these are absolutely the same on both sides, so I guess I'll have to get a sighted person and mark them somehow and pay closer attention next time I buy a box. Bill Stephan Kansas City, MO (816)803-2469 William Stephan

This could be a net mesh, cardboard bars, wire or plastic "egg crate". If there is some sort of extra reinforcement on one side that is not on the other, this is the discharge side of the filter (toward the furnace blower). This helps keep the filter from collapsing as it gets loaded. There are still a few filters out there that seem to be the same on both sides. I'm not sure why it makes a difference which way these are to be installed. ----- Original Message ----- From: William Stephan To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2006 9:51 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Furnace filters We had a visit from the contractor who does PMs on our heating and cooling equipment this morning. The technician found nothing wrong, except that the furnace filter was in the slot backwards. I've always wondered about whether there was a right or wrong direction to place these, but I can't for the life of me tell the diffference by feel. These are just basic one inch filters with a cardboard frame. Do any of you folks have techniques for determining this? Thanks.
