Three reasons to consider a whole-house media filter

All Hours Staff • March 7, 2023

Your home's indoor air quality plays a significant role in your family's health and comfort. Poor air quality can cause allergies, asthma, and other respiratory problems. At All Hours Heating and Air, we offer whole-house media filters to improve the air quality in your home, which use a dense media material (typically made of pleated polyester) to trap airborne particles. But what sets media filters apart from normal one-inch HVAC filters? Here are three reasons to consider a whole-house media filter.

Improved indoor air quality

One of the primary benefits of a whole-house media filter is improved indoor air quality. These filters are designed to capture and remove a wide range of airborne contaminants, including dust, pollen, pet dander, and other allergens (many of which cannot be efficiently trapped by normal one-inch filters). This means your family will breathe cleaner, healthier air, reducing the risk of allergies and other respiratory problems.

Increased HVAC efficiency

Another benefit of a whole-house media filter is increased HVAC efficiency. These filters are designed to trap more contaminants than traditional filters, meaning less debris will make its way into your HVAC system. It’s also designed to trap those particles without restricting airflow as much as traditional filters, meaning your system will not have to work as hard to push air through a media filter. This can help improve the efficiency and lifespan of your HVAC system, reducing the risk of breakdowns and costly repairs.

Convenience and cost savings

Whole-house media filters are designed to be low-maintenance and cost-effective. Unlike portable air purifiers and traditional one-inch filters, which require regular filter replacements, whole-house media filters only need to be replaced once or twice a year. This can save you time and money in the long run.


At All Hours Heating and Air, we offer a range of whole-house media filters to fit your needs and budget. Our team of experts can help you select the right filter for your home and install it quickly and efficiently.
