Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I replace my air filter?
It is generally recommended to replace your air filter every 90 days. However, if your household includes multiple pets, smokers, or experiences heavy use, you should inspect and possibly replace the filter more frequently. If you're upgrading from a lower MERV-rated filter or a fiberglass filter, it's a good idea to check the new filter after the first 30 days of use.
How do I replace my air filter?
To replace your air filter:
1. Locate your furnace or HVAC filter.
2. Turn off the HVAC system.
3. Note the airflow direction indicated on the old filter.
4. Carefully remove and dispose of the old filter.
5. Install the new filter with the arrows pointing in the same direction.

What size filter do I need?
The nominal size (e.g., 20 x 20 x 1) is usually printed on the side of your current air filter. If your previous filter isn't available, measure the intake vent to determine the correct size.
• Nominal size refers to the rounded dimensions used for
product labeling
• Actual size is slightly smaller and reflects the precise measurements of the filter (e.g. 19.5" x 19.5" x 0.75'").
Most HVAC filters are labeled by their nominal size, which corresponds to standard intake vent dimensions.
Can I use your filters with my current filter brand?
Yes! Our filters are compatible with most major brands. Just make sure to compare the exact dimensions of your current filter with ours before purchasing.
What does MERV signify?
MERV, or Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value, is a rating that indicates the effectiveness of an air filter in removing or trapping particles from the air. This system, developed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) in 1987, establishes air filter testing standards.
Is a MERV 13 filter suitable for my needs?
A MERV 13 filter is highly effective, but it is also more restrictive. It is advisable to consult with your local HVAC technician to determine if a MERV 13 filter is the optimal choice for your system.
