Why do I need to change my Air Filter?
  • Air filters collect dust, dirt, and allergens that float around your home. Like a lint trap in your dryer, it accumulates a thick layer of these air borne particles. When they become full, they are ineffective and start to restrict the airflow moving through your air conditioning system.
  • A dirty air filter is the #1 reason for HVAC system failure. Changing your air filter means extending the life of your AC unit, and saving you money on your energy bill in the process.
  • An old and forgotten filter can eventually accumulate so much dirt and pollution that it can completely choke off all air flow to your AC system. In the worst case, the filter can be sucked into the motor and cause thousands of dollars in damage to your system.
  • A clean air filter helps keep allergies and asthma at bay
How Often should I change my air filter?
  • The life of your filter depends on the environment of your home. On average we recommend you change your filter every 90 days. If you have a larger family, have pets, smoke, have allergies or asthma we recommend changing your filter every 30 days.
  • With Filter Direct, you can change the frequency in which you receive your filters at any time to fit your needs.
My home has more than one filter, now what?
  • Many homes have multiple filters. Once you select your filter and deliver frequency, you’ll be able to select the number of filters you will need for your home.
  • Make sure you measure each filter if you do have more than one. Sometimes they are different sizes. You’ll be able to select a different size for each filter.
What are the life expectancies of the different air filters?
  • There really isn’t a “standard expectancy” for an air filter. It depends on each home’s characteristics, how many people live there, if there are pets, smokers, how much air pollution and pollen is in your town, etc.
  • The best way to make sure you are changing your air filter on time is be proactive and  let Direct Filter Express send you reminders by shipping you fresh filters.
What does MERV mean?

Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value, or MERV for short is a filter rating system to standardize and simplify filter efficiency ratings for the public. The higher the MERV rating, the higher the efficiency of the air filter.

What is a MERV rating?

MERV ratings are the efficiency of the air filters. The higher the MERV rating, the more efficient your air filter. For example, a MERV 13 filter will remove smaller particles from the air than an MERV 8 filter. This gives the consumer the ability to compare one filter to another.
