Providing your home with the highest-quality air is vital to your well-being. This means ensuring that your filter is operating at maximum efficiency, and correct installation is necessary for that to happen.<\/p>\n<p>Air filters work by trapping particles on their surface. The more particles trapped in this area, the less they will escape into your home and pollute indoor air quality.<\/p>\n<p>The back of the filter contains its support structure, usually a metal mesh or a cardboard frame. The front of an air filter contains the filter media that captures dangerous contaminants, so it should be the first surface your air contacts.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"629\" height=\"417\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22410\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 400px; object-fit: cover;\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/rsz_1istock-545567622.jpg\" alt=\"man changing furnace air filter\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/rsz_1istock-545567622.jpg 629w, https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/rsz_1istock-545567622-400x265.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 629px) 100vw, 629px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Why Which Way You Install Your Filter Matters<\/h2>\n<p>Installing a filter incorrectly is basically like having a dirty air filter! An incorrectly installed filter will inhibit airflow through the media, and your HVAC unit will consume more energy to shoulder the increased workload. This will drive up costs in multiple ways. Not only will you pay more for energy usage, but you could also damage your system!<\/p>\n<p>Installing a filter backward will restrict air flow, forcing your air conditioner to work harder and longer to push cool air out. This will increase wear and tear, high monthly utility bills, and even cause your HVAC system to wear out more quickly.<\/p>\n<p>A well-maintained HVAC unit can last 15-20 years in most climates. However, if you live in an area where you&#8217;ll need air conditioning for most of the year, like Florida, you can expect to get 8-14 years out of your unit before you need to replace it. But only if you keep up with regular maintenance and filter changes.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Which Way Does the Airflow Arrow Point?<\/h2>\n<p>Is there an arrow on the filter? Ensure it points toward the air return. If you have an upflow furnace, the filter should face up; if you have a downflow furnace, it should face down.<\/p>\n<p>A simple way to remember this is if the furnace&#8217;s airflow pulls the air upwards, then the arrow should point upwards. The arrow must point in that direction if the airflow is pulling downwards or forward. This is an easy way to verify if the filter was installed correctly.<\/p>\n<p>Something as simple as installing your air filter correctly and consistently will do wonders for your health and wallet!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Want to learn about more ways you can save money and cut costs?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"ffbutton\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/go-green-and-save-money\/\">Money Saving Tips<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-20192 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/rsz_dsc_0971.jpg\" alt=\"how to install air filter\" width=\"3008\" height=\"2000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/rsz_dsc_0971.jpg 3008w, https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/rsz_dsc_0971-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/rsz_dsc_0971-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/rsz_dsc_0971-1024x681.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3008px) 100vw, 3008px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>How often should you change your AC air filter, especially during the summer?<\/h2>\n<p>You must change your filter at least every 3 months to maintain the maximum benefit for your HVAC system and ensure healthy indoor air quality in your home.<\/p>\n<p>However, it&#8217;s a good idea to get into the habit of checking your air filter every month.
