With the recent wildfire events impacting Los Angeles and surrounding areas, maintaining clean indoor air has never been more important. Smoke, ash, and harmful particles can significantly reduce air quality, making it crucial to regularly replace your home’s air filters. For residents in Los Angeles, Orange, and San Bernardino counties, clean air filters are essential for protecting your family’s health and ensuring your HVAC system runs efficiently during times of poor air quality.

Regular filter changes reduce dust, allergens, and pollutants, keeping your indoor environment healthier—especially for those with allergies or asthma. Additionally, clean filters optimize your HVAC system, ensuring efficient operation, lower energy bills, and preventing costly repairs. Experts recommend replacing filters every 1-3 months, depending on your household’s needs.


Finding the Right Air Filter Size for Your HVAC System

Selecting the correct air filter size is vital for effective filtration. Most filters display their dimensions on the frame, but if not, you can measure the width, height, and depth yourself. Common sizes include 16x20x1, 20x25x1, and 20x30x1. For custom sizes or recommendations on filter types, consult your HVAC system manual or reach out to a local expert. Using the right filter enhances air quality without compromising system performance.


Convenient Options for Ordering Air Filters

Ordering air filters is easier than ever for Southern California homeowners. Visit local hardware stores, big-box retailers, or shop online through platforms like Amazon or Lowe's. Many vendors even offer subscription services, delivering filters to your doorstep on a schedule that ensures you never miss a replacement. When selecting filters, look for ones with a suitable MERV rating to balance air filtration and system efficiency.
