Thanks for watching everyone! We hope you consider subscribing to learn more tips to keep your hvac system in tip top shape!
I've been inserting it wrong for years, I think.
“The arrow always points towards the furnace “. That’s what I want to know. Thank you sir!!!
lol i came here to type the exact same thing. not that all his other info wasn't appreciated, i just needed to get to the point.
Your video only one telling it straight up. Thx
my furnace is in the attic. My return airflow vent is on the floor. So the filter could face the inside venting or the outside hallway. Which one is right? Sorry if this is a really dumb question but my house is really dusty and my filter doesn't look very dirty.
After watching countless videos, this phrase was exactly what I needed to hear. I wasted soooo much time
Thank you. Jesus
Finally a simple explanation. But why can’t HVAC manufacturers put a damn arrow on their systems?? How simple that would make things. Match the HVAC arrow with the air filter arrow - easy as pie! Maybe newer HVACs have that, but mine is over 15 years old.
Mine said it was manufactured in 2020 and it doesn't have an arrow!!!
I wish because I still don't know
Take a sharpie and draw an arrow on your ductwork toward the furnace. Problem solved.
None of them do unfortunatly and whats worse is the installer could take all of 5 seconds to draw an arrow showing the correct direction but they don't. What they do is hand you a bill for 10K even though their cost on a new furnace/ac is only about a grand or so. If they added that arrow and filter change recommendation that would cost and extra couple thousand dollars. This is one of the most corrupt industries out there.
That one line "The arrow always points toward the furnace" was Legendary. I always 4get because other pplz descriptions are so lacking of that line. Thanksy friend
You are welcome, glad to help!
YES!! I just bought my first home and forgot to pay attention to how it was installed. I was too busy being grossed out by the gunk on it. This guy was straight and to the point!! Arrow points towards the furnace :) SIMPLE
Agree! Love this professional being so relaxed but clear. Bought my dream house and I'm a widow so I had no idea my husband always did it! Thank you Air!
Jeesus!!! I went through a ton a videos and was still lost on how to replace my filter because the filter before had NOT one arrow on it!!!! "THE ARROW ALWAYS POINTS TOWARDS THE FURNACE"!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
You simply, to the point, no fuss, no muss answered a simply question us simpletons struggled with since the dawn of time, you're a gentleman and a scholar Sir.
Lol you made my day. Glad we could help.
Exactly, I stopped watching at least 3 videos, the last video the narrator lit incense to demonstrate air flow. Aedin
Thank you! This was the simplest, most helpful explanation!
Great to hear!
The first 5 or so videos I watched showed me how to tell which way the old air filter was facing but they didn't tell how to determine if it's correct or not.
In my case, I bought a house and noticed the AC was working hard. I removed the old filter but I didn't pay attention to how it was before I removed it. Anyway now my AC works and takes breaks like it should instead of running 24/7! Liking and sharing on fb
This video is the best I’ve seen. It actually helped me determine the airflow in my hvac system. Now I know the arrow always points toward the furnace. Concise and straight forward! Thank you sir!
Glad to help!
This explains what I wanted to know. Simple and clear. What I needed. Thanks you guys.
Thank you! I watched three videos before you, and yours was the most clear instructions and demonstration.
Your the only one on You Tube that tells you arrow towards the furnace. Thanks for being clear.
Wow, thank you so much. Can not tell you how many videos I watched trying to figure this out as it should be so easy, but not so much in my case, until you explained it so simply. Thank you Thank you Thank you. That one simple rule that the arrow heads towards the furnace made it so clear.
Thanks so much. I have always lived in apartments so never had to replace filters-owners did that.. I moved into a condo apartment which has it's own furnace and air conditioner. The furnace is in a really tight fit closet in the apartment hallway, holding my furnace and the neighbors and the furnaces are like 8 inches apart with the filter needing to be placed about 2 feet back, with the blower facing the back of the closet and goes through the wall into the vent into my apartment. Its almost impossible to reach back there and and I knew about the arrows but apparently was still placing them in wrong. Had a very rude hvac people come to replace furnace and ac and said I had the filter in backwards but didn't show me which way was correct. I decided to look online and found your video. Very easy explanation. Thank you very much.
Thanks for your help. Sure enough, I had the arrow going the wrong way! Great explanation.
That you!! Direct and to the point!! I will always remember now it’s the furnaces filter!!
Thank you for posting this video, which is simple, clear and concise!
Thanks, dad! 👍
It's June, 2023. I've owned my first home since April, 2018. Change my filter often enough, but maybe a month or two later than I should. I have to look it up every time. 😂 It's so simple - I'll remember it next time, right? Maybe.
See you again in a few months 😅
Take a black sharpie marker and draw an arrow on your ductwork that points toward the furnace. Then youll know each time
Thank you for this. I had no idea which way to install filters.
I wanted to double check and your tutorial was very helpful! Whew, I been doing it correctly!👍🏼
Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
nwauntie64 Glad we could help!
Best explanation…this way I know regardless of my setup 🤗🤗🤗
Welp i installed mine backwards and I can't get it out with out tearing up the cardboard box it came attached to so I guess I'm leaving it until next time. Looked up a bunch of searches to see the correct way to put it in for our unit and every person just said "pay attention to this arrow it'll always point the way the air is flowing" which isn't helpful to someone whose never taken a look at a furnace in their life and has never known which way the air flows through it. Thank you for atleast clarifying that it needs to point into the furnace
Thanks for showing this my husband Passed away in June he always changed ji I didn’t know which side here I had it on the right side so thanks
I wish I had watched this BEFORE putting in my new filter! I put it the wrong way, OF COURSE! I had to destroy the old one getting it out and apparently will have to do the same with this one. It's 16x25x4, and they do NOT just slide out once they are in! I am taking to heart your statement that putting it in the wrong way is better than not changing it at all. But so many other videos make it sound like I am going to ruin my furnace. I can't afford to buy another new filter at the moment. Next time I know - toward the furnace!!!
Super easy to comprehend. Thank you!
thank you this is very helpful for me because I always struggle with this when I change the filters to the furnace to my house
Glad it helped!
Very good instruction, thank you. Now I have to go back and check if I had the arrow points toward the furnace or somewhere else.
I was always confused about direction of filter. This video cleared doubts in a simple way. Air flow arrow goes toward furnace.
Yes on the filter side of the ductwork its the intake (return side). After air goes thru the furnace, on the other side, the airflow goes away from the furnace (supply side)
Very very good point which I was looking for and I have another question that if I will replace recycle able filter which I which and put it back??? Thanks sir.
Very good and simple ***** instructions ❤️ GOD bless
thanks. much appreciate the knowledge.. i've apparently had it in wrong for the past half year...
Thanks for the video, found it very helpful.
Thank you for this clear instruction!
Thanks. I just wanted to confirm I did it right, and I did!
Cathy M nice!!
Very clear, to the point, and brief. thank you so much! great help!
Ty! I always forget but with this method I will remember lol
Nice and simple! Thank you.
You're welcome it is our pleasure! Thanks for watching.
Thanks for this! I always forget. :)
Our pleasure glad to help!
Thank you! I was skeptical because all the ones I've seen that look similar to mine are filtered at the bottom leading up. But mine filters at the top (big duct) down, then right, and back up in a smaller one.
Thank you for the video.
I would watch any home maintenance/repair videos you would post!
Thanks!
I needed this video, thank you!
Our pleasure!
Me too! Very helpful and simple....thanks!
Thank you- thank you-thank you!!!!
Excelente video! Gracias.👍.
Thanks! That was very helpful!
glad it helped!
Thank so much for the tip
You bet!
Great job
Thank you!! Big help!!
You are welcome!
My filter sits horizontal. The air flow feels like it is flowing away from furnace. I'm confused.
*Edit* well, I was wrong. I tested flow direction by holding a dryer sheet where the filter goes. Direction is definitely down, towards the furnace. I've been doing it wrong for years. I took a sharpie and put an arrow on lid to filter compartment.
Thank you.
Can you please do a more complicated filter change -one that rests inside the upper area on bottom (in your case) gray door and that you almost have to be on your back to get it up in there?
Thank you!
My furnace filter goes on top. Which way should I put the arrow of the filter, up or down?
I did not see you close the slat. My slat will not close with the filter in because filter sticks out. Does it matter if you close the slat?
Thanks, mister!
does the rule apply if my furnace pulls air from a crawlspace and the furnace is on top? (so arrow up)
Have you seen an application where there are two furnace filters that sit in a V-shape in the duct above the furnace?
Mystery Solved - Thank you
Thank you sir!
Thank you very much
It is really helpful!
What about the cut to fit where there is no arrow....weave side toward the furnace and rough side out? Or the opposite? The phrase air flow means nothing to me.
Thanks, but what if furnace is on ground floor and there’s a blower in attic where the filter is?
I have a HVAC system also in my home .Is there any filter to change or not. And how can I clean my furnace? Thanks
All furnaces have a filter in there to protect the components from dust build up inside it
I thinky filter is defective, my arrow pointing toward the furance is actually the side that has the guard and screen
Thanks!
Thank you
Why do my filters have the arrows pointing to the opposite side of the reinforcements tho
Thanks man
My air flow comes from the bottom so the air filter goes in horizontally. I have zero clue which way the arrow should point. Help!
The arrows always points toward the furnance. Take a black sharpie and draw the arrow on your ductwork
ok so what is the furnace? lol just kidding. great video!
Thank u
Our pleasure, glad to help!
rip i have a washable fiber filter with no arrow. dont know which way to put it
Place all washable filters into the garbage because they junk. Replace with a low Merv rate pleated filter: 5 or 8, then youve won
If the filter is located on the floor. Which way do you have the arrow, up or down?
Great question! We answer in this week's video: ruclips.net/video/GzyCj_N_foA/видео.html. Your question is at the 2:04 mark.
I thought arrow should point in direction of airflow. So it points away from the furnace.
U thought right in the first sentence, but then thought wrong in the second sentence. I guess you have the direction of airflow confused it seems. The filter is always on the intake (return) side, where airflow is going into the furnace.
Can we just start making filter boots that are better than a piece of poorly bent sheetmetal allowing a loose fitting air filter with absolutely zero instructions on filter changes? For the price they charge for a new furnace this should be included.
I still dont get this??? What is the furnace?
The furnace is your HEATER; where the warm air in your house comes from.
When putting in a new filter, the arrow points towards the heater.
Its the things that washes your dishes and make humming noises
Thank You!
Thank you so much.
