Frequently Asked Questions
How to change air filters:
The overall process involves purchasing the correct-size replacement, turning off your system, locating the filter, properly inserting the new one, and turning your system back on. However, selecting the right MERV rating and size filter, as well as properly installing it, can be challenging.
How often should you replace your air filter?
Generally, you should replace your air filters once every 60–90 days. But this guideline can change depending on the size of your home as well as if you have pets in your home or occupants with allergies. It also depends on the type of filter and system.
What is the best MERV rating for air filters?
The best MERV rating for air filters is 13, which helps filter pollen, mold, smoke, bacteria, and more. But depending on your home needs and type of HVAC system, you might be better off with a lower-rated filter. Using a filter with a MERV rating that is too high or low can be harmful to your system and your IAQ. Filters with a MERV rating that is not compatible with your unit may not adequately filter the air or cause the system to be overworked.
