Air Filter

Upgrade Your Air Filter

For your family’s health

Most heating and cooling systems still use a basic air filter. These filters were originally designed to protect the equipment and not the people served by the equipment. The average air filter is only capable of removing 3–5% of the particles that pass through it. Today, however, there are several types of air filters available in various efficiencies that can help you filter the air in your home. If you suffer from allergies, asthma, hay fever or other breathing difficulties, there is an air filter that can help you.

Is the Filter Size Really that Important?

Yes. In order to properly filter all the air, it must be properly sized. Otherwise, some air will find its way around the filter allowing particles to reach your evaporator coil - and that's not good.

Recommended Filters

For 1" or 2" size filters, we recommend purchasing the pleated type. The pleats create more surface area and therefore are more effective at trapping particles. It is important to change pleated filters every month.
