It has been about 3 months since I changed our air filter, so I recently purchased a new filter to replace the old 1 that was filthy… Typically, most Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C providers request replacing the air filter every 90 nights; And if you’re a smoker or if you have pets, the recommendation is between 30 to 60 nights, then i have constantly kept up with replacing our Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C air filter as it is a sure way to guarantee that the air quality in our lake house is ideal.
And each time I change the filter, I constantly make sure that I install it the right way… However, for some weird reason, when I went to replace the filter, I realized that I had it pointing in the wrong direction. If you don’t suppose anything about Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C air filters, most if not all of them, have arrows showing you which direction to place the filter inside the Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C unit. The arrows should constantly point towards the unit, but for some weird reason, the arrows on this filter were pointing the opposite way, which means that the filter was installed inrespectfully. The only thing that I could know of is that, about a month ago, I removed the filter to take a picture of it, so that I could order the same 1 online. And I guess that in our rush to return to what I was doing, I didn’t check to see what direction I was installing the filter! So, for about a month, our air filter was installed backwards. This means that the air wasn’t flowing as it should nor was it getting filtered consistently. To avoid this mistake, be sure to check the arrows on the Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C air filter in addition to never install it backwards.
