Please note that, installing an over-sized furnace will be less efficient, too noisy and will result in imbalanced temperature around the house. Also, an over-sized furnace will run in shorter cycles, hence reducing furnace life.

Size of Cabin Filter depends on volume flow of the Blower Motor as shown below. Volume flow is usually measured in Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM).
Furnace Max Air Flow:	Minimum Filter Cabin Size	Recommended Filter Cabin Size
up to 800 CFM	16 × 25 × 1	16 × 25 × 5
up to 1200 CFM	16 × 25 × 1	16 × 25 × 5
up to 1600 CFM	20 × 25 ×5	20 × 25 × 5
up to 2000 CFM	20 × 25 × 5	20 × 25 × 5

5” Media Air Cleaner and 1” Filter Compared
	5” Media Air Cleaner	1” Filter
MERV (ability to capture particles)	MERV 11	MERV 8
MPR (ability to capture particles)	1200	300
Restricts air flow	low	high
Replacing time	Every 6 months	Every 2 months
Effect on furnace efficiency	Increases furnace efficiency	Reduces furnace efficiency
Price	$49/filter → $98/year	$19/filter → $114/year
ECM, DC motor furnace	Increases the efficiency and life-span of the furnace	Furnace not working well, more service call, Reduces efficiency

Undersized filter will result in:

reduced efficiency
reduced furnace lifespan
furnace overheat
temperature imbalance
increased filter replacement cost
increased furnace and air conditioner repair cost
