Homestock USA: Features, Pricing, Integrations & AI Visibility

Homestock USA is an air filter subscription shipper with a property-manager program. The record describes scheduled deliveries to each property or to the management office, 50 or more sizes in MERV 8, 11 and 13 plus custom sizes, free shipping, and service to 33 states. Its own pages add an online account for changing the schedule or filter type, custom sizes at no extra charge with a three to four week lead on the first order, shipping within two business days, and Dallas-area phone numbers. It pitches MERV 8 as the property manager’s choice and also markets to apartment complexes and commercial buildings. Nothing about it connects to a property management system, which puts it in the direct-shipper half of the filter delivery programs category, next to Filters Direct USA rather than the integrated programs.

Who it fits

The record tags Homestock USA for single-family rental and small multifamily. The buyer is a manager who wants filters to arrive and nothing else: no package, no resident app, no portal that talks to the PMS. That manager already keeps a list of return-grille sizes by address and is willing to key it into a second account, and has doors inside the 33 states Homestock serves. The option to ship to the management office instead of the property suits a manager whose technicians install filters during quarterly inspections, or who hands them to residents at a visit, which is the arrangement one BiggerPockets thread describes local landlords running themselves.

It fits less well for three buyers. A manager who wants each unit’s filter size synced from the accounting software should look at Second Nature, whose page describes exactly that. A manager who wants a monthly shipment report as the proof artifact when a system fails should look at FilterTime. And a manager with doors outside Homestock’s 33 states needs another shipper for those doors, which is a question to ask before the demo rather than after.

Pricing

Pricing is not published on the pages we fetched; Homestock quotes bulk orders by email. What is published is that shipping is always free, orders ship in two business days, and custom sizes carry no surcharge. Ask for the per-filter price at your most common sizes in MERV 8, 11 and 13, the volume breaks and any minimum order, and whether you are billed per shipment or on one monthly invoice. Ask whether an invoice or a packing slip with prices goes in the box, because that decides whether you can pass the cost plus a markup to the resident without the resident seeing your cost. Then compare the delivered price per filter to what the same filter costs at a hardware store, since that is the comparison an owner will make.

Integrations

The record lists no property management system integration, sourced from Homestock’s property-manager page, and the vendor runs from its own online account. Every unit’s size, address and schedule gets keyed once into the PMS and once into Homestock, and every move-out means a change in both places. Ask whether sizes and addresses can be loaded from a spreadsheet, whether a schedule change can be made for many addresses at once, and whether delivery history can be exported. If double entry is the thing you want to avoid, the integrated vendors on the list of filter delivery vendors are the place to look.

Limitations and questions to ask

Coverage is the first question. Thirty-three states is most of the country and not all of it. Ask which states are served and what the delivery time is to each of yours.

Proof is the second. Ask what the account shows after a delivery, and whether that history is enough to answer an owner or a resident when a compressor fails and someone claims the filter was never sent. No vendor in this category proves installation, so plan an inspection cadence regardless.

Grade comes next. Homestock’s pitch for MERV 8 as the property manager’s choice is a sensible default for older systems, where a denser filter restricts airflow. Ask how a mixed portfolio is handled if some units need MERV 11 or 13 and whether the grade can be set per address.

Then the ordinary operating questions. What happens to a delivery when the resident is not home, what the return or replacement process is for a wrong size, how a custom size is confirmed before the first three to four week order, and who Homestock contacts when a property’s schedule needs to change.

Alternatives

Filters Direct USA is the same shape from North Carolina, a direct shipper with a property-management page, one MERV 9 grade, custom 1-inch sizes and free shipping nationwide. FilterTime is the standalone program with a PMS integration and a monthly shipment report. Second Nature is the choice if filters are one line inside a resident benefits package you also want.

AI visibility

The Index will measure HVAC filter delivery when a prompt set for the category is approved, so this profile carries no number yet.
