Follow these easy steps for home air filter replacement:

Step 1: Turn off your HVAC unit before changing the filter. If you’re not sure how to turn it off, consult your owner’s manual, or turn off the breaker.

Step 2: Remove the dirty filter. Most air filters are typically located at the point where the return duct enters the air handler. Look for a 1” wide hinged or removable cover. The air filter will be inside and should easily pull out of the slot.

Step 3: Insert the new filter. There are arrows on the new filter to indicate which side should be facing the incoming air. The arrows should be pointing towards the blower and the filter should slide into place easily.

Your system’s air filter has a heavy workload. It filters out bits of pollen, dust, and dander that would otherwise circulate and cause lower indoor air quality.

It also increases the efficiency of your unit, and a whole lot more.

When your air filter is dirty, your system has to work even harder, creating strain on your unit, decreasing its efficiency, and possibly causing significant, expensive problems. Changing your air filter monthly promotes better air flow, lower monthly energy bills, and is a simple, inexpensive way to ensure that you and your family stay healthy, comfortable, and safe all year long.
