Replacing a dirty filter can save as much as 5% on your heating and cooling costs. Reduce your energy bills and keep your heating & cooling systems running efficiently.

As far as home-improvement gear goes, furnace filters are among the least exciting and motivating home improvement projects. There’s none of the danger and excitement of power tools, none of the visual impact of new flooring and kitchen cabinets, and certainly none of the reassurance that accompanies big investments like new windows or new roofing.

But there can be big impact even in little things, and finding the right furnace filter can not only save you money, but also improve the quality of the air you breathe. Originally, filters were designed to protect the moving parts of the furnace itself. But thanks to technological advancements, filters now play an important part in helping to prevent harmful particles from cycling back into the air that you breathe at home.

Indoor air quality is affected daily by activities and products that we routinely bring into our homes. Household items such as furniture, carpet, paint and cleaning products emit particles and gases into our environment. The family pet is a four-legged source of air contamination, and outdoor air consistently exposes us to sources of pollen, smoke and smog.

Choosing the right filter will help to reduce the amount and types of particulate in the air that you breathe. The chart below provides an overview and guide to assist you in selecting the filter that is right for you.
