Attic Hvac Filter

Just had to replace my furnace coil and condenser this weekend.

Attic hvac filter.

On horizontal hvac units with the return duct attached to the side of the air handler the filter often fits in a slot on the return air intake side of the unit. We don t have basements due to flooding. This arrow needs to point in the direction of your hvac s airflow. Up until this weekend we always had our filters in the intake vents in a hallway ceiling.

This is a grille located on the ceiling or wall where air enters your hvac system. Went with a furnace with a pull out filter. If you have an attic vent in your ceiling like the one pictured further above the arrow should point up toward the hvac unit. Most updated central air conditioned homes have a new air conditioner split system meaning the ac is broken up into parts.

Btw in east texas all furnaces coils blowers go in the attic. Your ac s air filter is usually found in these 2 places. Only the condenser is outside of course. Attic hvac systems save space.

Well mainly it s a way to save space. An outdoor unit which houses the fan condenser and compressor and an indoor unit which holds the evaporator and fan. On vertical air handlers with the return air duct entering on the top of the air handler the filter often slides into a slot above the hvac unit. Return vent with grate in place on the left and open return vent without the grate where you can see the filter and ductwork on the right.
