What Are Carbon & Gas Filters?

Carbon air filters and gas filters are designed to remove odors, gases, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from indoor air, improving comfort and overall air quality.

How Carbon Filters Work

Carbon filters use activated charcoal to trap gases and chemical pollutants. A carbon HVAC filter is especially effective in homes with pets, smokers, or strong cooking odors.

Cleaner Air with Carbon Filter Air Purifiers

A carbon filter air purifier combines particle filtration with odor and gas removal. It’s an ideal solution for improving indoor air in bedrooms, offices, or shared living spaces.

Whole-Home Protection with HVAC Filters

Installing a carbon furnace filter or carbon HVAC filter in your system helps clean air throughout your entire home, not just one room—ideal for consistent air quality control.

Gas Furnace and Natural Gas Filters

If you use gas heating, a gas furnace filter or natural gas filter helps trap harmful combustion byproducts and keeps your air cleaner and healthier.

Easy to Replace, Built to Perform

Carbon and gas filters are easy to install and replace. Whether you need an air purifier with carbon filter or a full HVAC solution, we have filters to fit your system.

Frequently Asked Questions

The frequency of changing your gas furnace filter depends on its thickness and household factors:

  • 1-inch filters: every 1 to 3 months
  • 3 to 4-inch filters: every 6 to 9 months
  • 5 to 6-inch filters: every 9 to 12 months

Homes with pets, smokers, or high dust levels may require more frequent changes.

To select the correct filter:

  • Measure: Check the dimensions of your current filter (length x width x depth).
  • MERV Rating: Choose a filter with an appropriate Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) rating based on your air quality needs.
  • Compatibility: Ensure the filter type and size match your HVAC system's specifications. 

Top-rated furnace filter brands include:

  • Filtrete: Known for high-efficiency filters with various MERV ratings.
  • Honeywell: Offers a range of filters suitable for different HVAC systems.
  • Lennox: Provides filters with advanced filtration technologies.
  • Airx: Offers cost-effective options without compromising quality.

The best brand depends on your specific needs and HVAC system compatibility.

Yes, carbon air filters can significantly improve indoor air quality by:

  • Eliminating odors: Neutralizing smells from pets, cooking, or smoke.
  • Removing gases and VOCs: Trapping volatile organic compounds from household products.
  • Enhancing HVAC efficiency: Preventing contaminants from accumulating in the system.

HEPA and carbon filters serve different purposes:

  • HEPA filters: Capture particulate matter like dust, pollen, and pet dander.
  • Carbon filters: Absorb gases, odors, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

For comprehensive air purification, a combination of both filters is often recommended. 

Yes, carbon filters are commonly used in HVAC systems to remove odors and gases. They are particularly effective at eliminating smells from cooking, pets, or smoke. You can combine carbon filters with standard filters like HEPA to improve both particulate and gas filtration. 

Carbon furnace filters typically last 3 to 6 months depending on usage and the concentration of airborne pollutants. If the air quality in your home is poor, you may need to replace them more frequently.
