Our HVAC was installed over 8 years ago. We change the filter every 6 months at during our spring/fall checkups. During a recent home inspection for our refinancing. The inspector asked did we recently change the airvents and ducts?
I HAVE searched and cannot find a better filter than Filtrete. Not only does it make a noticeable difference in the air quality of our home, it has literally saved our HVAC unit. As do most new construction homes, ours came with the standard 'builder grade' system. Coincidentally, we have had a lot of storms and power surges this past summer. When our system (along with seven others in our neighborhood) burnt out last month, we were miraculously able to replace only the compressor, as opposed to the whole system. Since it came at a bad time for us financially, we had to opt for replacing the compressor only. Our HVAC technician told us that had we not been using good filters and replacing them regularly, that would not have been an option. Even though we will eventually have to replace the whole unit, we now have some wiggle room and time to save up. Meanwhile, our 'builder grade' unit and Filtrete filters are functioning beautifully. Thank you, 3M!!! You saved our lives (quite possibly literally--from this Southern heat and humidity)and allowed us some time to research and save for a new HVAC unit down the road a bit.
I have asthma and since I discovered Filtrete filters I use them exclusively because they help me keep my asthma under control by removing allergens from the air that enters my home.
