Air Conditioner Filter Replacement

Here is how to replace an air conditioner filter in a home air-conditioning unit. This is a very easy do it yourself job. First, locate the air filter in the air conditioning cabinet, and make a note of which way the airflow arrow points, and the size of the filter. Buy a new air conditioner filter at any home-improvement store, and remove the old filter and replace it with the new filter, making sure that the new air conditioner air filter is right side up, and that it fits properly in your home air conditioning unit. Changing the air conditioner filter regularly keeps your air conditioning unit clean inside, making it last longer, and a clean filter allows more air to flow than a dirty filter does, so it is a good idea to replace your air filer regularly.

An eight year old video... and yet it's still helping people... like me. Thanks for taking the time to create it.

This video may be 4 years old, but it’s exactly the information I needed regarding air flow. My furnace is setup like in this video, a hole below the blower. Thanks!

*So amazingly quiet and **Fastly.Cool** in my room! 42db is at a whisper level. I bought 2 and installed myself.Very sturdy bracket and easy to adjust to fit windows of different size. Absolutely fabulous units!!*

Thanks. All the important information and not too chatty. I REALLY appreciate your pointing while explaining that the air goes INTO the machine.

I’d been looking for my air filter for a week. THANK YOU.

Thank you! After several videos, yours showed a similar ac/heating unit to my own. I was right on putting it back after cleaning my washable filter, but just wasn't sure which direction of the air flow, lol and wanted confirmation.

[angelaanderson]

[Anniek]

I have an old system. I've always had trouble and still haven't figured out how or what size filter goes in there. That bar you have to hold it down I have the opposite of that I think its turned around. It's so awkward. Bit I guess I do need to get a 24x sized one over size it to fit in there. Just seems like at the back it won't fit right. But I'll have to try that size filter now. 😅 never thought to go that size before.
Thanks for this video. I know its years old but it helped.

OMG thank you so much. This video was so helpful. My landlord told me to change the filter but never showed me how.

[untiLiGetBanneD]

Thank you. Doing this today — thought the filter was behind the vent on the wall! Lol

[chiva]

Thank you for this video. I just help me to know which way the airflow arrow should go because I just changed my air condition filter. Thank you.

Finally! I found a video that fit the same unit I have to see how it goes.

Check airflow direction. Airflow is toward the AC machine /blower. 'UP' in this case. There is a small arrow on the edge of the cardboard filter. Look at the old one and see what direction it is in.
