Changing your air filter is an important part of maintaining your air conditioning system. It can help extend the life of your AC unit, reduce energy bills, and improve indoor air quality. But how do you go about changing the air filter? Here's a step-by-step guide to help you out. First, turn off the unit. Then, lift the latches on the sides of the faceplate and slide it out so it doesn't get in the way, opening the filter compartment.
Now you can take out the old cabin air filter, taking care not to spread dust, dirt and debris from the filter in your car. As you remove the old filter, note where the arrows are facing. This indicates the direction of the air flow. If you have an electronic media filter, you don't need to worry about replacing it every 1-3 months. You can wait 6 months to a year before replacing it.
Make sure to replace it with an exact filter of the same model. This may require ordering it on the brand's website to get an exact match. Once you've located the filter, take a moment to determine the direction in which air flows through the system. You should follow the filter manufacturer's recommendations, but a good rule of thumb is to inspect the AC filter at least once every 2-3 months. You'll need these dimensions to buy a replacement filter if you don't already have one in your home. Before installing a new EnviroShield cabin air filter, vacuum the filter chamber and then clean it with a damp cloth to remove any residual contaminants.
Once you've made sure everything is clean and dry, insert the new filter into its slot with arrows pointing in the same direction as before. If you're still having comfort or humidity issues after replacing your AC filter, consider installing a whole-house dehumidifier. Replacing the air filter is important because it can extend oven life, reduce energy bills, and improve indoor air quality. However, if the air filter turns black, it may be due to candle smoke or more harmful sources, such as soot from a water heater or black mold.
