I got a new furnace this year, and want to replace the filter. It's 4" (actually 3 5/8), but the cabinet looks like it would easily take 5.
Would a 5" replacement be better? Or should I just get another 4"?
Should I replace this 4“ furnace filter with a 5” one

The whole point of a nice filter cabinet like that is to have a tight fit so very little air bypasses the filter otherwise you might as well just stick a cheap filter in there. Those usually take a manufacturer specific filter to fit properly. Most universal filters are under sized so they can fit most cabinets, just bit well. Manufacturer specific filters are usually more money but should fit like a glove.
