What Happens If You Use the Wrong Size Air Filter?

Did you know that choosing the right size air filter is key to getting clean, healthy air and improving the performance of your HVAC system? It’s the little things, like this, that make a big difference. Air filters are an important part of your HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system. They help create a comfortable indoor environment by ensuring you breathe in fresh, clean air.

These filters trap airborne contaminants such as dust, dirt, pollen, pet hair, allergens, and other particles that can be harmful to your health, especially if you or someone in your home has respiratory issues like asthma, lung infections, or tonsillitis. However, how well your filter works depends on choosing the correct size for your system.

If the air filter is too big or too small, it can cause a range of problems. In this blog, we’ll explain the effects of using the wrong filter, such as poor air quality, and how it can impact your HVAC system’s performance. We’ll also guide you on how to select the right air filter size for your system.
