    Outstanding video! So clear and comprehensive. You're an excellent instructor. I just moved into a new home and discovered the air filter was missing. Yours is the only video that I found which explained how to measure the space. Thank you!

    This is the best tutorial I've watched. I truly appreciate you. By listening to your video, it saved my family $150 on a maintenance cost. Old home, purchase new $8,000 furnace, never replaced filter for 1 year, IT WAS FILTHY!!! Thank you so much...

    You literally answered every question I had in depth. I recommend my homeowners to shoot for a Merv 6 or MPR300-600 as well, I've seen lots of homeowners use the Purple 3M or Kirkland (costco) brand, the worst.
    You're one of the few youtubers/tech that puts out a golden video, every, single, time. Every second is truly invested and not wasted.
    Thank you Jay.

      Why is the Kirkland the worst? And thanks

    • @agahajak
      @agahajak 4 роки тому

      @@orbelina6508 It's heavy pleated, which requires frequent filter changes, depending on where you live (busy road/lots of pollution, pet fur, etc) because they clog up a lot quicker than say, a 'MERV 6' filter.
      I come across so many No Heat calls and most of them are because of the heavy pleated filters that trip the High limit switch in the furnace.

I've watched several of yours and every video you share you are the absolute best no matter what it concerns. Thanks you many times over for sharing your videos. 99% doing the same are idiots and when explaining they do as if your already know so much and therefore leaving out critical information or direction but YOU DON''T.

    LOl.! I've been trying to find my filter and I can seem to locate it. I have my furnace that is up in my attic and hung horizontally. It looks completely sealed up so my guess is my ceiling has 3 of these filters and that must be the only place that they are. I live in AZ and it's extremely dusty here so that makes sense. You have been the only person I've found on UA-cam to bring this up so thank you!

    Awesome video and very informative. Little bit about my situation. I am a new homeowner and a big DIY person and have come to the conclusion that my air handler wasn’t installed correctly. So I have been seeking online but can’t really find an answer. So my filter installed is not snug and has no clamps to keep it down and am worried that in the years to come the dirt will clog the electronics inside. If I could possibly send a picture or what air handler I have could I get help. I want to keep my HVAC in good working order as long as I can. These repairs of replacements can really break the bank.

    Tnx!! Very informative basic HVAC video. I use ACE Hardware 8 MERV filters. I buy them in 6 packs. Much cheaper than my favorite go to place Amazon. And I will take your suggestion and go from every 3 months to 2 months. Even though no pets or kids. I live in manufactured housing, so my furnace is a downflow and the 16x20x1 filters go in the furnace doors.
