You literally answered every question I had in depth. I recommend my homeowners to shoot for a Merv 6 or MPR300-600 as well, I've seen lots of homeowners use the Purple 3M or Kirkland (costco) brand, the worst. You're one of the few youtubers/tech that puts out a golden video, every, single, time. Every second is truly invested and not wasted. Thank you Jay.

Why is the Kirkland the worst? And thanks

@agahajak 3 жыл бұрын

@@orbelina6508 It's heavy pleated, which requires frequent filter changes, depending on where you live (busy road/lots of pollution, pet fur, etc) because they clog up a lot quicker than say, a 'MERV 6' filter. I come across so many No Heat calls and most of them are because of the heavy pleated filters that trip the High limit switch in the furnace.

LOl.! I've been trying to find my filter and I can seem to locate it. I have my furnace that is up in my attic and hung horizontally. It looks completely sealed up so my guess is my ceiling has 3 of these filters and that must be the only place that they are. I live in AZ and it's extremely dusty here so that makes sense. You have been the only person I've found on KZfaq to bring this up so thank you!

Awesome video and very informative. Little bit about my situation. I am a new homeowner and a big DIY person and have come to the conclusion that my air handler wasn’t installed correctly. So I have been seeking online but can’t really find an answer. So my filter installed is not snug and has no clamps to keep it down and am worried that in the years to come the dirt will clog the electronics inside. If I could possibly send a picture or what air handler I have could I get help. I want to keep my HVAC in good working order as long as I can. These repairs of replacements can really break the bank.

I subscribed to your channel a few weeks ago because of the detail you provide and the easy manner in which you explain how our furnace and AC works. I have a Bryant furnace that uses a 4" filter. I change it every 6 months as you suggest. I use a 3M Filtrete filter and every time I change the filter, the paperboard that is outside the pleats warps and gets hung up on the metal frame. I have to tear or rip out the filter to get it out. I use a long slotted screwdriver to help push the paperboard back, but it doesn't always work well. I know you've changed many filters in your profession, so do you have any helpful tricks to get the filters out without having to tear of rip them out? Thanks.

Fantastic, highly informative and well made video! What type of filter would you recommend to put over ceiling registers, since you say that the AC filters are mainly to protect the unit itself, or would you advise against it, since it most likely would further reduce air flow? Instant sub!
