Did you know that installing the wrong HVAC filter can do damage to your system? There are many styles of air filter available, so it is important that you get the right type of HVAC filter. It is a smart move to speak with your HVAC provider about what type of filter works best with your system. Don&rsquo;t just guess and get the wrong filter, as you could be doing some serious damage to your system. Air filters are great for taking dirt and toxins out of our air, but it is easy to buy the wrong filter type and put unnecessary strain on your heating and cooling unit. At Galmiche &amp; Sons, we have a wide range of filters to choose from and our experienced staff can make sure that you get the exact model you need.<\/p>\n<p>For over 70 years, Galmiche &amp; Sons has been helping St. Louis residents with their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/contact-galmiche.php\">heating and air conditioning<\/a> needs.

One of the easiest steps you can take involves your air filters. Getting a high-quality air filter is a great thing to do, but it is imperative that you don&rsquo;t buy the wrong HVAC filter. The last thing you want to do is accidentally damage your system.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a couple of tips to make sure you don&rsquo;t get the wrong HVAC filter:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Check the Filter<\/strong> &#8211; One of the easiest ways to make sure you are not purchasing the wrong HVAC filter is to simply buy the same type that you are replacing. Ideally, you should be replacing your filter once a month, especially if it looks dirty. Before you toss out your old filter, snap a picture or write down the brand\/model. This will help you get the right replacement.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be Cautious of High Efficiency<\/strong> &#8211; Most quality air filters come with a Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) rating. This tells you how well the filter catches air borne particles and toxins. This is achieved by a very tight weave of the fabric in the filter. While a higher MERV rating can catch more particles, be wary of any filter with a MERV rating over 12. This could restrict airflow and make your system work harder than necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consult_Your_HVAC_Provider_to_Get_Your_Filter\"><\/span>Consult Your HVAC Provider to Get Your Filter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/can-wrong-hvac-filter-damage-system-2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Wrong HVAC Filter Can Damage Your System\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-9063\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/can-wrong-hvac-filter-damage-system-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/can-wrong-hvac-filter-damage-system-2.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When looking for replacement filters, be sure to consult your HVAC service provider for clear guidance on the best filter.
