Running your furnace, central air, or heat pump probably constitutes a big part of your utility bill. But its a small, often inexpensive partthe air filterthat keeps these heating and cooling systems humming along. And it also plays a role in maintaining good air quality inside your home.
If you want to learn more, please visit our website Dashang.
For these reasonsand because every forced-air heating and cooling system uses at least one filterits important to know how and when to replace it.
Some background: Forced-air heating, ventilating, and cooling (HVAC) systems work on a loop. They inhale through return vents in your living space, pulling air through ductwork and across your heating or cooling source (either a furnaces burners, or an AC or heat pumps coil). Then they exhale through supply ducts and vents, delivering warm or cool air to your living space. Inevitably, some of the hair, dust, and other debris in your home gets sucked into that loop as air circulates around your house.
Its an HVAC air filters job to catch that debris. In doing so, it first and foremost protects your heating and cooling equipment from damage. As a bonus, it can improve your indoor air quality. In fact, manufacturers claim many of todays filters can capture allergens, microbes, and other particles while theyre doing their primary job of keeping your system gunk-free. And with the prevalence of wildfire smoke, air filters are even more important. (Here are the best filters for dealing with smoke-filled air, according to CRs ratings.)
There are a range of HVAC filter designs: The basic models are made from strands of fiberglass (for disposable filters) or metal mesh (for reusable filters), and can stop big debris. Higher-end filters are made from material more like a surgical masks, arranged into pleats, and at their best, they can capture particles as tiny as bacteria, and sometimes even viruses before they can recirculate.
You should expect to replace your filter every three to 12 months of use, depending on the size of the filter. For 1-inch-thick filters, three months is the usual recommendation. For 4-inch and thicker filters, 12 months is common.
You might need to replace the filter more frequently if you have a few very furry pets, for example, or you live in an area with a lot of air pollution, such as from wildfires. When HVAC filters get dirty and clogged with debris, air cant flow freely through your ducts, which makes your home less comfortable and can eventually break your HVAC equipment.
The good news is that fresh HVAC filters can be budget-friendly and are usually simple to replace.
In this guide, well help you figure out which filter size your HVAC system needs, how to pick the right amount of filtration, and how to swap in a filter on your ownusually with no tools required.
CR members can also see our comprehensive air filter ratings for HVAC filters, based on extensive lab testing. We have ratings for almost 70 models across a range of thicknesses, prices, and performance ratings. Many filters that we review are available in multiple width and height configurations, so our recommendations should cover almost any kind of forced-air system.

Introduction:
Nylon Filter Mesh is made of mono-filament PA6 or PA66 yarn/thread (1:1 weaving method, plain weave), which is ideal for straining, sieving or filtering most liquids, powders or sludges; The term Mono-filament means that each thread used in the construction of the cloth is a single smooth solid strand instead of many smaller diameter threads twisted together, as in a spun or multi-filament material. These mono-filament threads are perfectly round in section and are extruded to very precise and uniform diameters.
Their advantages are:
a) due to their uniformity they can be woven with great precision to give exact and regular apertures,
b) the resulting material has a very smooth surface so that the filtered particles will easily separate from it,
c) they have great strength and elasticity.
After weaving, our fabrics undergo a finishing process to add the properties required for specific applications. During the finishing process, the fabric is scoured to remove any foreign substances and the yarns are then stabilised within the weave in order to eliminate shrinkage by a process known as heat setting.
Mono-filament Nylon 6 or Nylon 6.6 Filter Mesh
Mono-filament Nylon is a versatile material due to its great strength, flexibility, long life and resistance to abrasion. Nylon has excellent resistance to most common solvents and will operate continuously at temperatures up to 100°C in the chemical pH range 7-14.

Anatomy of Woven Mesh
1. Mesh: Designates the number of openings per inch (25.4mm)
2. Designates the measurement of the clear open space between parallel adjacent wires.
Opening Size=25.4 mm÷Mesh CountWire Diameter
Pitch=Opening Size+Wire Diameter; or 25.4mm÷Mesh Count
Open Area %=(Opening Size)2÷(Opening Size+Wire Diameter)2×100
3. Designates the diameter of wire before weaving. With a same mesh count, when the wire diameter is different, the opening size and open area are significantly changed.
