Action Air recommends checking your air filter each month and replacing if needed.

But what kind of filter to use?

Several types of air filters are common in HVAC systems:

• • Fiberglass filter. This throwaway air filter is the most common type. Layered fiberglass fibers are laid over each other to form the filter media and typically are reinforced with a metal grating that supports the fiberglass to prevent failure and collapse.

• • Polyester and pleated filters. These filters are similar to fiberglass filters but typically have a higher resistance to airflow and a superior dust-stopping ability.

• High efficiency particulate arrestance (HEPA) filters. These units filter the air passing through them at a very fine scale.

Because filters are fairly simple, they essentially are porous membranes that allow air to flow through them.
