Technician replacing a residential HVAC filter

Two things we do — extraordinarily well.

We're not a generalist HVAC contractor. We're focused on the recurring, preventive work that keeps your system running healthy — so you only need a contractor for the rare big problem.

Filter delivery + replacement

Most popular

The right filter shows up at your door on schedule, and we install it ourselves. No more squinting at the side of an old filter trying to remember the size.

Why it matters

Clean filters = healthier system

A clogged filter restricts airflow, forcing your blower motor to work overtime. That kills efficiency, accelerates wear, and pushes dust through the cracks into your living space. Replacing on schedule extends the unit's lifespan and cuts your energy bill noticeably.

How we do it

Right size, installed for you

First visit we measure your unit and confirm the exact dimensions + rating. From then on, the correct filter arrives at your door on schedule and we install it during the visit. Old filter removed and disposed. You don't lift a finger.

Range of MERV-rated filters from MERV 8 to MERV 13

What we use

Pleated filters, MERV 8 to 13

Standard 1" pleated filters at MERV 8 are included in the base plan. Households with allergies, pets, or smokers can upgrade to MERV 11 or 13 for finer particulate capture — we'll recommend the right tier based on your unit and air quality goals.

Cadence

Every 1–3 months

Frequency depends on your filter tier, household occupancy, and pet/allergen load. Standard cadence is every 3 months for typical homes; high-allergy households go monthly. We set it once during the inspection and track it for you.

Condenser cleaning

A clogged condenser coil makes your AC work 15-30% harder for the same cooling — directly hitting your electric bill and shaving years off the compressor.

Why it matters

20% efficiency back, on average

Pollen, grass clippings, cottonwood, and general dust pack into the coil fins over a single season. Once airflow drops, your compressor runs longer to hit the same temperature setpoint — your power bill climbs and your refrigerant cycle wears faster. A clean coil pays for itself in one summer.

How we do it

Full deep-clean, top to bottom

Power down → remove the top grille → vacuum loose debris → spray with non-acidic coil cleaner → rinse from the inside out so dirt washes out the right direction → straighten bent fins with a fin comb → vacuum the drain pan → verify refrigerant pressures before we close up.

What we use

Non-acidic, plant-safe cleaners

We use alkaline-based foaming coil cleaners that lift dirt without etching the aluminum fins (acid cleaners shorten coil life). Safe around landscaping, pet-friendly. Tools are commercial-grade fin combs + low-pressure rinsers so we never bend fins worse than we found them.

Cadence

Once a year, ideally in spring

Best done after the spring pollen peak but before the first heat wave. Coastal or wooded properties benefit from a mid-summer touch-up too. We'll flag it during your filter visits if we see fins clogging early.

Up to 60% less than a typical HVAC service call — every year.

The math is simple. Most homeowners spend $700–900/year on reactive HVAC service — and get overcharged for every filter swap. Commercial buildings pay even more, scattered across a dozen invoices. A Filters Faster plan rolls all of that into one flat rate.

“Showed up exactly when they said, replaced the filter, vacuumed the area, and left. Took maybe 15 minutes. I forgot how nice it was to not have to think about this.”

M

Margaret S.

Cambridge, MA

“My AC was running constantly and the bills were creeping up. They cleaned the condenser, found a refrigerant leak nobody else had caught, fixed it the next day. House is cool again, bill dropped 18%.”

D

David K.

Somerville, MA

“Manage 24 units. Filters Faster handles quarterly visits on a flat per-unit rate. Tenants stopped calling about HVAC issues entirely. Reliable, professional, fairly priced.”

R

Riverside Apartments (mgmt)

Cambridge, MA

“Had them in for the seasonal tune-up. Tech walked me through everything he was checking, sent a photo report by the end of the day. Found a worn capacitor and replaced it before it failed. Worth every penny.”

J

Jenny P.

Arlington, MA

“Our family has bad allergies and the upgraded MERV-13 filters made a real difference. They explained which filter rating fit our system without trying to upsell. Genuinely helpful crew.”

T

Tom A.

“Cold storage facility, 8 condensers. Other vendors quoted us 2x what Filters Faster did. They've been on-time every visit and our refrigeration runs cooler than it has in years.”
