AIRCARE Electrostatic HVAC Furnace Filter

While the Air-Care Smart app provides customized cleaning reminders, a good rule of thumb is to inspect and wash the filter every 30 to 60 days. Frequency depends on your home's air quality, the number of pets you have, and how often your HVAC system runs.

A MERV 8 rating is an excellent balance for most residential HVAC systems. It effectively captures common household irritants like dust, pollen, and pet dander without restricting airflow, which helps keep your system running efficiently.

This filter is designed to maintain optimal airflow, but because it is a permanent, multi-layered electrostatic filter, it may feel slightly denser than a cheap fiberglass disposable. As long as you keep it clean, it will not negatively impact your system's performance.

This filter is compatible with most standard HVAC systems that accept an 18 x 24 x 1-inch filter. Always measure your current filter slot before purchasing to ensure a proper fit, as a tight seal is essential for effective filtration.

The filter material is treated with an antimicrobial agent that inhibits the growth of mold, bacteria, and viruses on the filter surface itself. This prevents the filter from becoming a breeding ground for contaminants, keeping your indoor air cleaner.

Simply remove the filter, vacuum off any loose debris, and rinse it with warm water and a mild detergent. Ensure the filter is completely dry before reinstalling it into your HVAC system.
