So...
I just decided to check my A/C filters in my apartment, because I never have and honestly really didn’t trust the maintenance to do it. I heard they need to be changed about every 2-3 months or minimal every 6 months.
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I looked where the filter was located. It looks like it’s 10 years old. Not to mention, the grill on the outside didn’t have a filter behind it either.
So the bigger one was a 24”x24”x1” and I easily found that at Lowe’s.
The smaller one with all the black mold is a 14”x18”x1” I couldn’t find this one so I bought a 16”x20”x1” and just cut one side to make it fit perfectly.
NOW....for my question. I’m unsure which way the air-flow is going. There’s an arrow on the filter and not sure how to position it.
