Real-World Example: How Goodman Filters Made a Difference

Project Overview:
The Martinez family in Austin, TX installed a new Goodman HVAC system during a full-home renovation. We recommended using Goodman MERV 11 filters to protect their investment and improve indoor air quality.

Why We Recommended It:

• Generic filters often restrict airflow and cause internal buildup.

• Goodman air filters are engineered for optimal performance with Goodman systems.

• Based on past installs, we’ve seen fewer issues and better efficiency with this setup.

What Happened After 90 Days:

• 20% better airflow than similar systems using off-brand filters

• Cleaner internal components (no early dust buildup on coils or blower)

• Improved air quality, especially for a family member with allergies

• Lower energy use, due to less strain on the system

• Quieter performance, thanks to smoother airflow
  
  

Key Insight:
Using the right air filter isn’t a minor detail—it’s a strategic upgrade.
Goodman filters don’t just protect your system; they enhance it.

“After years of working on HVAC systems, we’ve seen time and again that the filter you choose can either support your system—or slowly wear it down. Goodman filters don’t just fit—they’re engineered to help your unit run cleaner, quieter, and longer. It’s a small choice that makes a big difference in comfort, cost, and air quality.”

Why Goodman Filters Matter: Real Stats That Back What We See Everyday

We’ve worked with countless HVAC systems, and the data always supports what we experience in the field. Here’s what the numbers show:

1. HVAC Systems Use a Lot of Energy

• HVAC accounts for up to 50% of a home’s energy use.

• Dirty or low-grade filters force systems to work harder.

• We’ve seen energy bills drop just by upgrading to higher-efficiency filters.

2. Better Filters Mean Healthier Air

• MERV-13 filters or the highest your system allows can block tiny particles, including viruses.

• High-efficiency filters reduce airborne particles by up to 95%.

• We’ve seen allergy symptoms drop quickly after switching filters.

3. Indoor Air Quality Affects Everyone

• People spend about 90% of their time indoors.
  → Source: epa.gov

• Indoor air can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air.

• In our experience, homes with Goodman filters have cleaner air, less dust, and fewer complaints.
  
  

Final Thought: Why Your Filter Choice Matters More Than You Think

We’ve worked on hundreds of HVAC systems. One detail that’s often overlooked—but always makes a difference—is the filter.

Here’s what we’ve seen firsthand:

• Systems using poor-quality filters show early signs of wear.

• Clean air isn’t just about comfort—it’s about health and efficiency.

• Goodman filters help systems run smoother, longer, and cleaner.

Why Goodman Filters Stand Out

• Designed to work with Goodman systems

• Maintain strong airflow and protect internal components

• Improve air quality while reducing energy strain

Bottom line:

Choosing the right filter is not just a maintenance step—it’s a smart investment in your comfort, health, and HVAC longevity.

If you're planning an installation, don’t skip this detail. Start strong with a Goodman air filter—and feel the difference all year round.

Next Steps: What to Do Now

Follow these quick steps to make sure your HVAC system performs at its best:

1. Check Your HVAC Model

• Confirm your Goodman system’s model number for the correct filter fit.

2. Pick the Right Filter

• Choose a Goodman MERV 11 or higher filter.

• Avoid generic filters that can restrict airflow.

3. Replace Filters Regularly

• Every 60–90 days is ideal.

• Replace more often if you have pets or allergies.

4. Buy from a Trusted Source

• Use certified retailers or your HVAC pro.

• Ensure you're getting genuine Goodman filters.

5. Schedule System Maintenance

• Book HVAC check-ups at least twice a year.

• Filters + maintenance = top performance.

6. Need Help?

• Contact a certified Goodman technician for personalized advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Goodman air filters compatible with other brands?

While Goodman air filters are optimized for Goodman systems, some may fit other brands. Always check the dimensions and specifications for compatibility.

What MERV rating should I choose for my Goodman air filter?

A MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) rating of 8 to 12 is generally sufficient for residential use, balancing air quality and airflow.

How do I install a Goodman air filter?

To install a Goodman air filter, turn off your HVAC system, locate the filter compartment, remove the old filter, and insert the new one, ensuring the airflow direction is correct.

What happens if I don't change my Goodman air filter?

Failing to change your Goodman air filter can lead to reduced airflow, increased energy consumption, and potential damage to your HVAC system.

Can Goodman air filters help with allergies?
