Installing your filter.
When you install a new furnace filter, it's important to make sure that the airflow is directed correctly. Otherwise, your filter won't work as designed, causing your HVAC system not to work as efficiently which could create problems down the road. As for exactly which direction your furnace filter should face, here are some things you need to know:
The filter is designed to stop debris from reaching the fan, ducts and other components.
The filter is designed to stop debris from reaching the fan, ducts, and other components. Additionally, the filter is designed to stop dust, dirt and other particles from being recirculated throughout your home. The filter is made of pleated material with a honeycomb-like design that allows air to pass through but not debris.
Most filters should be replaced every 3-4 months (or sooner if it becomes clogged). Filters should always be changed before they become completely clogged or begin to restrict airflow.
Proper filter installation is not just a matter of aesthetics; it's critical for proper functioning. The filter needs to be installed in the correct direction so that air can pass through the filter that is being supplied to the various rooms in your home. You'll also want to make sure that you never install your filter upside down or backward, as this could result in components being damaged and/or reduced efficiency.
It can be challenging to determine which way your furnace filter should face.
It can be challenging to determine which way your furnace filter should face. When you are unsure, it is best to call a professional. However, if you are installing the filter yourself and have no other choice but to make an educated guess, there are some things that you should try to keep in mind:
The most important thing is that you follow the instructions provided with your new filter. If these instructions tell you that the filter should face one direction or another, then go with what they say!
If there aren't any specific instructions for installation on your new filter or if those instructions were lost when someone else installed it (and neither of these situations is uncommon), here are some questions that might help give a general idea of where the correct placement is:
- Does my furnace have horizontal fins? If so, then chances are good that they run horizontally across its surface like a series of window screens stacked together—meaning that air will tend to flow through them horizontally as well as vertically (upward). The fins will also likely be arranged in rows separated by a gap between them. This means that air tends to flow freely through every opening between every row except for one small section—that's where dust gets trapped inside tiny nooks and crannies created by all those gaps between rows! So if this sounds like what yours looks like too then I would recommend placing it facing away from those rows so none can sneak into them undetected."
Every air filter has an arrow printed on it.
Almost always you will see that the filter has an arrow printed on it. For installation purposes, you want the arrow pointing toward the furnace blower motor. This is the easiest way to make sure you've installed your filter correctly. So if somehow you find the arrow on your filter pointing away from the blower (or anywhere else), it will need to be removed and positioned correctly.
When installed properly, filters are designed to stop debris from reaching your fan coils or other components by catching them within their pleats during operation.
Wire mesh for support.
If you cannot locate the arrow you will find that most pleated filters include a wire mesh backing that is adhered to one side of the filter material, which serves to help the filter maintain its shape. The wire mesh side of the filter should be pointed to the blower motor.
Conclusion
Be sure to install your filter correctly, so it will work properly. Check to make sure the arrow on your filter is pointing in the right direction and if you are unsure, call a HVAC professional to help with installation.
