AirThreds releases the HVAC Filter doing more for homes and the planet.
 

This summer, AirThreds is the green concept company launching a new way to better care for HVAC systems. It's the world's first furnace filter that's machine washable and dryable. The cover unzips to wash, dry and return to the frame to reuse, lasting 30 to 50 washes. It eliminates the hassle and the expense of searching for filter replacements and saves the environment from unnecessary disposable waste.

Transitioning to hot weather means it's time to turn up the A/C. While our homes can't get enough of that powerful cool breeze, 82 percent of Americans fail to change their air filter on a regular basis to ensure that refreshing air is clean.

AirThreds is a recycle-friendly concept further benefiting homeowners with a machine washable design that lasts. While the product might seem like a small consumer convenience, something as simple as a clean air filter can financially impact a homeowner. Furnaces, just like people, require regular attention to stay healthy and they're often neglected until it's too late. Replacing an HVAC system is likely the second most expensive home repair behind replacing the roof.

In addition to preventing costly repairs, this summer's indoor air quality has become an important topic as 90 percent of people are spending 20 hours inside each day during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The typical disposable HVAC filter is made most commonly with polyester or fiberglass woven fibers. They can also expose you to dust, dirt and even potentially harmful chemicals.

AirThreds brings more awareness to the waste these disposable products create. Due to their materials, many cities will not accept them in recycle programs.

An AirThred filter on the other hand is both reusable and made with 100 percent recyclable materials. In addition to utilizing eco-friendly materials, these filter fibers were designed to work smarter, not harder.

Not only do they create the perfect balance between airflow and particle capture, the fabric is antimicrobial treated. This helps prevent bacteria, mold and allergens that collect on a filter from blowing back into your home. It's one extra benefit for those suffering from asthma, allergies and those more susceptible to illness.

AirThreds retail for $59, but for cost comparison, one outlasts the life of 36 disposable filters. They come available in standard HVAC sizes.
