The Problem:
The Solution:
Step 1: Upgraded to a 20x22x6 Amana Filter
• Captures 95% of airborne pollutants (dust, mold spores, pet dander).
• Reduced dust buildup and allergy symptoms within weeks.
Step 2: Installed Radiant Barrier Attic Insulation
• Deflects heat, keeping indoor temperatures stable.
• Less AC runtime, preventing overuse and energy waste.
The Results:
Why This Works: Backed by Data
➡ A 2023 Department of Energy study found that combining high-efficiency filters with attic insulation improves HVAC performance by up to 30%.
➡ Most homeowners only focus on one fix, missing out on the compounding benefits of filtration + insulation.
Key Takeaway:
By upgrading both air filtration and attic insulation, homeowners can breathe cleaner, save more, and reduce system strain—just like Mark did. Are you ready to make the switch?
"Most homeowners focus on either filtration or insulation, but after seeing firsthand how combining both transforms indoor air quality and energy efficiency, I can confidently say this is one of the smartest upgrades you can make. A high-efficiency filter like the 20x22x6 Amana prevents contaminants from circulating, while proper attic insulation reduces heat load—together, they ease the strain on your HVAC system, lower energy costs, and create a healthier living space. This isn’t just theory; it’s a proven, real-world solution that delivers measurable results."

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if you don't clean your furnace filter?
A dirty furnace filter restricts airflow, making your HVAC system work harder, reducing efficiency, increasing energy costs, and leading to poor indoor air quality. It can also cause system overheating and potential damage.
How do I know if my furnace filter is washable?
Washable filters are typically labeled as "permanent" or "electrostatic" and made of durable materials like aluminum or plastic mesh. Check the manufacturer’s instructions on the filter frame or your HVAC manual.
What is the most common HVAC air filter size?
The most common HVAC air filter size is 16x20x1, but sizes vary based on system requirements. Always check your existing filter or HVAC manual for the correct size.
Can I use a 4" furnace filter instead of 5"?
A 4" filter may fit in a 5" slot, but it can create gaps, reducing filtration efficiency and allowing unfiltered air to bypass the filter. It’s best to use the exact size recommended for your system.
How often should I change my furnace filter?
For standard 1-inch filters, replace them every 1-3 months. Thicker filters (4-5 inches) last 6-12 months. Check filters monthly and replace them sooner if they appear clogged.
What is a good MERV rating for a house?
A MERV rating of 8-13 is ideal for residential homes. MERV 8 provides basic dust and pollen filtration, while MERV 11-13 captures finer allergens like mold spores and pet dander without restricting airflow.
