Filterbuy: Features, Pricing and Integrations

Filterbuy is an air filter manufacturer based in Talladega, Alabama, and Filterbuy Business is the side of it that sells to property managers. The property management page promises one invoice, one contact and one price across a portfolio, pallet or bulk shipments to each property or to the management office, custom sizes for older buildings that use non-standard dimensions, and a filtration specialist who handles order tracking, reminders and replacement scheduling for the maintenance team. Its suggested lineup for property managers is MERV 8 for standard units, MERV 11 for lobbies and common areas, carbon filters for laundry and trash rooms, and custom sizes. In the HVAC filter delivery category it is the manufacturer selling direct to the portfolio, and the facts panel below is rendered from our vendor database with a source and verification date on each entry.

Who it fits

The database tags institutional multifamily, HOA communities and commercial facilities, which matches the page’s line about multifamily, HOA and commercial portfolios. The buyer is a maintenance director or regional manager whose team changes filters on a schedule and wants one supplier, one price and freight that arrives on a pallet at the shop. The broader business page says Filterbuy keeps close to a million filters in stock and ships from nine factory-distribution centers, so a large order is routine.

It fits less well for a single-family rental manager whose problem is getting residents to change their own filters. Filterbuy Business ships in bulk to a property or office. Programs that mail filters to each resident’s door, track delivery, and fold the cost into a resident benefits package solve that problem more directly.

Pricing

Filterbuy does not publish portfolio prices; the page asks for a pricing request. The business page describes wholesale factory-direct pricing and volume discounts, and claims savings of up to 40 percent against buying from distributors. Ask for a price per filter by size and MERV rating at your annual volume, what freight costs on a pallet versus parcel shipments, and whether custom sizes carry a surcharge. Ask whether the national price is locked for a term and how it moves. The business page also lists full-service ordering with kitting, self-service, subscriptions and e-procurement options; ask what kitting includes for a property portfolio and whether it costs extra.

Integrations

The record names no PMS integration, and the property management page mentions none. Ordering runs through the Filterbuy Business team and its own account tools. Ask whether a filter schedule can be built from a unit list you export from your PMS, how size data is kept current when a unit’s equipment changes, and whether the reminders can reach a work order system. Ask whether invoices can be split by property for owner billing.

Limitations and questions to ask

Delivery to the property solves supply, and the filter still has to reach the return vent. Ask who installs it: your techs on a preventive schedule, or residents. If residents, ask what proof Filterbuy can provide that filters were shipped to each unit, because that record is what a manager reaches for when an HVAC system fails and the resident says no filter ever arrived. Ask how the filtration specialist’s reminders work in practice, by email to whom and how far ahead. Ask how a wrong size is returned and how fast a replacement ships.

Alternatives

The filter delivery vendor list carries the same facts for each vendor. Homestock USA ships scheduled deliveries to each property or the office in 33 states. Filters Direct USA is another manufacturer with a property management subscription and free U.S. shipping. FilterTime ships to rental portfolios and connects to Rentvine. The FilterTime alternatives page compares the whole category on one page.
