I like that everything was explained really well, not just assuming you know everything. thanks

Great DIY! I haven't changed mine, since my home purchase, BUT I couldn't locate my furnace filter. Thanks to your video, I'll recheck my attic-mounted furnace! I do change my ceiling filters.

You helped me find a cleverly disguised filter placement in my townhouse. Thanks :)

Detailed and helpful. I looked at a few other videos, but this is the only one that explained and showed exactly what to do.

Your instructions are clear and precise! THANK YOU. XOXO

Thanks for showing the different options. This really helps me a lot!

watched about 7 of them before this one and this one gave the best information and most confidence that I would be putting the filter in the right direction, though it should still help some even if you put it in backwards thanx!

Thank you for your demonstration. It was absolutely the very best in demonstrating exactly how the filter should be installed. It was very helpful.

So Helpful, Best Instructions Ever, Thank You!!! My Unit's Filter Was Missing So I Had No Point Of Reference & Everybody Just Kept Saying To "Insert Toward Blower." I Saw Arrows But Was Still Confused.Thanks To This Video I Learned How The Air Flows So Now I Understand Completely. Hooray!

ThankYou ! Thank You! Thank You! This video is exactly what I needed! Very helpful!

Very helpful, thanks for the tips!

This is the 4th video I've watched, but the first one that helped! Thanks for showing different views, and explaining where to find the filter on different models!

Beautiful tutorial, good sir.

changed my own air filter after watching the video. very helpful.

Great tht u had 2 diff furnances and also great you taught how to insert the arrow pointing toward the blower/air flow b/c installing the air filter wrong can decrease air quality which is really dangerous if you have jst recently cleaned up a black mold infestation or have paint or smoke in the air, not to mention it can wear out ur unit if installed wrong, thx

Great video. First time homeowner and did not know there this was

thanks I needed this. I also put a arrow on the furnace so I wouldn't even have to think about which direction in the future.

Thank you! First instructions I could understand!

If your furnace is in the attic, would there be a filter in your attic or inside your house?

Wish you'd explained how to take off the two metal doors and install the filter. I have the closet set up.

Sometimes the filters can be in odd places. It you can, try to follow the duct work. Try to identify there the air enters the furnace and trace backwards. you may eventually find the filter. Also, sometimes you have to open up the front furnace panel to access the filter. So instead of the filter being on the outside of the furnace, it's inside the furnace housing, and it can normally be accessed through a access panel. Good luck.

I change my furnace filter regularly, but still notice a lot of dust. Even good filters only make it 2 months. Should I be adding additional filters around the house? There's one medium/large size wall grate near the entryway & then 1'x1' ceiling grates in each room. I don't have carpet & everything is cleaned regularly, so wondering if I'm doing something wrong.

Thankyou for this- I've been doing it wrong!

The filter hadn't been changed in so long, it was clogged and sucked up against the cooling coils, which were completely frozen over! Had to let defrost before we could get the filter unstuck and removed. Thanks

Thank you so much

Thank you very helpful, it was well explained...

Thank you!

excellent video. Answered my question on air flow. Thank you.

I thought this video was excellent. Nobody is born with knowledge, and while most people will think changing a filter is as easy as A, B, C, they forget, once upon a time someone had to teach them how to do it. The only thing I think could have been better is that he should have told the viewer to turn off the thermostat, before changing the filter. That tidbit came a little late for me. But overall, I am thankful for this video, it was informative to a new homeowner like myself.

thanks, very good info.

THanks for the clear instruction. I have my furnace in the lowest floor. . What is the logic behind installing a furnace in the attic?? Hot air rises so it seems much more efficient to have it in your basement or lowest floor.

Suggestion is to write the filter installation date somewhere on the filter, preferably on the side facing out so that it can be readily seen. On some of the more expensive filters (like the one being installed in the video), there is a small white rectangle good for this. Writing the date helps remind you when the last time the filter was replaced, and I am told they are supposed to be replaced every 3-4 months.

My old furnace used to last 3 months before a filter change but ever since I bought a new furnace, the pleated filters only last 1 month (which really sucks). Any longer than that & my heat doesn’t come out properly. I actually had to remove my filter the other night cuz it was getting colder in the house even though the furnace was running. Barely any dirt on it too! But apparently these newer units are really sensitive to dirt.

@@coolcat6303 If you use cheaper filters that may help with that. For example if you are using a MERV 8 or MPR 1500, try reducing it to MERV 3 or MERV 300. That will allow for more airflow to get through and it will filter out debris almost as good as the more expensive, air restrictive filters.

I was looking for a video on how to vacuum out this area of the ac/furnace. Mine has been neglected for years. I'm the new homeowner. Any tips for that? An AC guy told me he could do it for $400 (because it takes a long time) but he'd have to put me on his busy schedule.

Thank You

I have an Ameristar Gas Furnace and I can't find the filter. I called American Standard and they said if my unit is laying down in my attic that the filter would be in the ductwork. If I follow the ductwork backwards that runs from the furnace, how will I know that I have located it? I'm a little confused...

thank you

Perfect thx

Thank you

thanks a lot ,made my job easier !!!!

I have a filter on both sides of the furnace similar to the standing upright , but it's in my attic. So which direction the arrow points on the right side of the furnace? Want to confirm correctly or not. Thank u @GEO

I live in an upper unit condo and my furnace is in a closet but I do not see where to changer the air filter, I do not have anything on my ceiling or wall(s) so I assume it will be on the furnace somewhere but I can't find where, HELP!

How long should I wait after turn off the thermostat to install the filter and how long should I wait after I install the filter to turn it back on again?

thanks bud

If you smoke and have pets you should replace the filter monthly, if not you can go longer between replacement. I replace mine in June and December.

My filters make a V, one arrow facing up and one arrow fscing down. Is that correct???

Dammit mine doesnt have a handle or any obvious way to know where to slide something in or out. I WATCHED the ac guy do it last yr and it looked so easy and then i just went to do it and for the life of me I cannot find anything to pull out so i can get the filter in there. Unless the slot is like melted shut, something should have moved but nothing I pushed or pulled on would move at all. I know I'm looking in the right spot, I just cant figure the eff out how to open this damn thing

I had to have a tech come and clean my filter; pretty expensive. He said because of the pets, I need to clean my permanent "electrostatic" filter at least once a month. When he removed it, no problems. For some reason, I can't seem to slide it out. It feels like it is "stuck". what am it doing wrong?

+Bernue Lithgow Try jiggling the filter that is in it around as you pull it out. You may have to give it a pretty decent jiggle around trying each direction as you pull on it, and give it a stern pull. Don't do it TOO too hard but it can handle a decent pull. It's annoying when that happens. Hope this helps if you haven't already tried that jiggle!

What if there is no slot?

my filter needs changing every 2-3 weeks. It gets so dirty so quick. any suggestions as to why.

@HowToWithGEO

Yes, most filters are designed and constructed with an airflow direction in mind. If you reverse them it can decrease the effectiveness of the filtration and/or decrease the airflow. Decrease in airflow can effect your furnace by making it work harder, and it can increase its noise level a bit.

My unit is in the garage but have no access port for a filter. I looked everywhere but my attic. which I have never been in before. Damn...

Sorry to hear that. Sometimes the filter is actually along your air duct line, sometimes at the air intake grate. Check your wall/ceiling intake grate.
