How to Change a Furnace Filter for Dummies

Last updated 4 months ago

Changing out your old furnace filter increases the efficiency of your system, keeps air flowing, and cleans your air. Air filters catch allergens, dust, and mold, which is why regular replacement is so essential.

As this video clip demonstrates, changing a filter is a straightforward process. First, you’ll want to have a new filter on hand. Purchasing these in packs from your HVAC service will save you money and allow you to have a few spares on hand. Next, locate the return air by your furnace, usually near the blower motor. When the furnace isn’t running, remove the old filter while noting the direction of the airflow arrows. Slide the new filter into place in the same orientation.
