When it comes to furnace and air conditioner filters, many people assume they are different. However, this is not the case. The same filter is used for both the boiler and air conditioning system, so there is no need to purchase separate filters. It is important to note that HVAC air filters vary in quality and size, and some have features that others do not.
Generally, it is recommended to use the filter that the HVAC manufacturer suggests for your system. The filter in your oven prevents particles from entering the ducts and, consequently, into the oven. Homeowners often have questions about them, such as how to replace an air filter, which filter they should buy, and more. This is a good time to take a look at the air filter and see if it needs to be changed or not.
Also known as whole-house air filters, you'll want your oven filter to be clean so that it can provide you and your family with the freshest air possible without problems during the winter months. For the best indoor air quality, you should choose an air filter with a MERV rating of at least eight to 10. Reusable air filters can and should be washed regularly. If you have any questions about your boiler and air conditioner's air filter, or if you want to have a cooling system repaired or installed in your home, contact Jerry Kelly Heating & Air Conditioning, your St. Louis area HVAC experts.
We have been working with domestic heating and cooling systems for more than a century and have seen many ovens suffer from common filter errors. Disposable oven or air filters cannot be washed and must be discarded after use. The most common location for these filters is in the return air duct or in the fan compartment, as this allows the filter to clean the air before it reaches the unit. This way, you can prevent breakdowns, ensure your systems have adequate airflow, and keep the air in your home healthy so that you and your family can breathe comfortably. By changing your furnace filter regularly, you can keep your heating and cooling systems running efficiently all year round.
