The standard sized 24x24x1 air filter is readily available at local retail/hardware stores. The term "standard sized" means the air filter is cut nominally with a 1/2" undercut according to industry standards. Air filters are an easy thing to forget about as they are typically behind closed doors; however, regular maintenance is essential for HVAC system safety as well as home comfort. Regularly changing your 24x24x1 air filter:
How does your 24x24x1 filter work?
According to the EPA, indoor air pollution is in the top 5 of environmental health risks. When airborne particulates/matter enter and circulate throughout your indoor air, your home's indoor air quality (IAQ) decreases. IAQ also worsens with improper ventilation and when temperatures and humidity levels increase. There are also many other sources of indoor air pollution that are abundant in our daily lives. This include, but are not limited to, cooking fumes, smoke from cigarettes/cigars and fires, scented candles, spray air fresheners, drapes/carpet/furniture, and even printers.
Increasing IAQ in the Home
An HVAC systems primary job is to bring outdoor air inside and circulate it through the home. During the circulation process, outdoor air is forced through the air filter. 24x24x1 air filters trap dust, particles and debris that are present outdoor air, pushing clean air into the home. These particulates include:
When you reduce indoor air pollution sources, you're also protecting your home's IAQ. By reducing the sources, the 24x24x1 air filter can more efficiently and effectively capture pollutants that would otherwise enter into the indoor air you breathe. Air filters should be changed regularly (every 1-3 months according to manufacturer's directions) to ensure your home always has the cleanest indoor air possible.
On top of protecting indoor air quality, air filters also protect HVAC equipment from damage. Regular HVAC maintenance includes changing your air filters on a regular basis. Mold growth and even permanent damage can occur if dust and debris is allowed to build up on the motor and wires, water pools around the evaporator coils/condensate lines, or if holes and/or leaks in the equipment are left unfixed. A new 24x24x1 air filter will prevent damage to these expensive components:
