How To Install Or Replace Your HVAC Filters:

1. Choose the right filter. Before installing a filter you must first determine which size you need and purchase that filter. You can check the owners manual if available or simply find the size on the filter already installed in your home. The size is typically clearly printed along the border of the filter itself.

2. Turn the system off. Before you install your filter make sure the HVAC system is turned off. This makes it easier to move the filter in and out and will prevent debris and dust from blowing into your system or your eyes.

3. Locate your filter vent(s). Often the filters are located right near the furnace or AC system air handler. If you do not locate them their, they are very commonly found in the ceilings of hallways, closets or other rooms. A quick walk around the house will be enough to locate them.

5. Open & remove old filter. Turn the latches to open the vent cover. The latch will sometimes require a flat head or even a quarter coin to turn 180 degrees. Once you have opened the latch, carefully remove the old filter. Expect a lot of dust and have a trash bag with you so you can easily discard with minimal mess.

6. Install New Filter: Simply place the new filter in the same spot as the old. Reference the arrows on the filter to know which way air flow goes and ensure you place the new filter accordingly.

7. Close and lock the filter vent. Close the vent by performing the step 5 in reverse order. This is a good opportunity to wipe the vent down reducing the excess dust.

8. Turn the AC back on! You are all done, that's It! You can now safely turn the unit back on!
