Introduzione

This guide is for filter replacement of air conditioning. This replacement is needed to allow proper airflow while preventing particles from leaving the vent. I purchased the filter in Home Depot. Make sure to know the dimensions of the vent opening as there are filters with different dimensions. Additionally, there are 5 categories of filters and are rated by how effective they are. I bought a filter with a score of 9 out of 10 so choose one that meets your budget.

  1. DERRPeNqU5IDRlwI

    • Observe your air conditioning vent. If the filter appears to be dirty or damaged, then it is time to change it.

  2. 5mIEOZEpbemS3GYi

    • Remove the screws on the vent cover. There should be a minimum of 4 screws in each corner of the vent.

    • The screws in this vent are phillips hex head screws that are 1 3/4 in. long.

  3. CDTUuZQ4BNLFyT2l

    • Grab a screwdriver with a hex head attachment to remove the screws. Grab the screwdriver and place it on the head of the screw. Twist in a counterclockwise motion until the screw is removed. Repeat for every screw.

  4. 1mpBXfJ3KutFSCnx

    • Remove the vent cover to access the ventilation filter.

  5. raL1fWR6FsXVPQbI

    • Optional: Put on a latex glove on the hand that you will use to remove the filter.

  6. qn2nQDGDBV2iUgot

    • Remove the filter carefully.

    • Make sure to remove it slowly so that the dust does not come of it.

  7. 2Y2QnVkT4ImHFFuv

    • Dispose of the old filter in a waste bin.

  8. hWkhJPxn56VdWecf

    • Buy a Honeywell Air Filter from Home Depot and make sure to buy the filter with the correct dimensions.

    • The dimensions for filters will vary depending on the dimensions of the vent.

    • In this case, my vent was 14x25x1 and thus needed a filter with the same dimensions.

  9. W6AWdp4TndLwBYKG

    • Place the new filter into the vent opening. Make sure that it is facing the right direction.

    • There will be an arrow on the side of the filter showing which way to place it.

  10. fdEtTehQ2JIjxbfv

    • Place vent cover.

  11. P5ZcNCXi6T2YiDKW

    • Grab the same screws that were taken out at Step 3 and use them to secure the vent cover.

    • Place the screwdriver on the head of the screw and twist in a clockwise motion until screw is secure.

    • Repeat for every screw.

    • Turn on your air conditioner to make sure the filter does not move.

    • If the filter does not move, then you have successfully replaced the filter of your air conditioner.
