How the AC filter and vent service was handled
Openings in a fence, a door that will not latch, or a dark fixture are security issues in St. Petersburg, Pinellas County. This AC filter and vent service page treats them that way.
- Read the slot
Confirm size and airflow direction from the old filter or the cabinet label.
- Remove loaded media
Bag the old filter so dust does not dump into the living space.
- Install the replacement
Seat the new filter fully so air cannot bypass the media.
- Resecure the grille
Tighten or replace fasteners so the return cover does not rattle.
