A correctly installed air filter will fit snugly in its compartment. One that’s too thick or big won’t lie smoothly, and it can block the airflow, sometimes resulting in strange noises. A filter that’s too small or improperly fitted may move around in the compartment, resulting in strange humming or vibration noises. Poor fitting can eventually cause a buildup of dirt in the HVAC ductwork, and reduced indoor air quality can lead to sneezing or excess dust on your surfaces.

Air purifiers can remove pet dander and other contaminants from the indoor air in your home. An air purifier draws air into the unit and filters it to remove pollutants and allergens before releasing it into the room. These appliances are especially beneficial for anyone suffering from allergies and asthma.

If you have a lot of dust in your home, an air purifier can help draw dust, pet dander, and pollen out of the air and trap it in a filter. Air purifiers are especially nice if you have allergies or lots of pets as air purifiers that use a HEPA filter can reduce allergens by up to 99.7%.

For washable or electrostatic air conditioner filters, you can soak and rinse them with water. If you rinse the filter with water, make sure to use a faucet, shower head, or garden hose with a gentle water pressure setting, as strong water pressure could damage the filter.

But for disposable filters, water could ruin the filter, even allowing mold to grow in the filter. Instead, these filters should be replaced.
