Equipment & Performance
Useful to know about your system

Higher-MERV filters capture more particles but can reduce airflow if the system is not designed for them.
Replacement intervals depend on the home, pets, and the filter type.

Air Filters questions
Answers to questions that come up often with this service.
It depends on the filter type, the home, and pets, but a common range is every one to three months. A thicker media filter may last longer.
Not always. A filter that is too restrictive for the system can reduce airflow and cause problems. The right rating balances filtration with the system's airflow capacity.
