Air return with filter

Typically an air return with filter assembly is employed when the more common location for the filter, which is usually right next to the furnace, is not available. That more preferred location next to the furnace may be more beneficial because all the air the building is passed through it during one cycle, whereas it might take several cycles for all the air in the structure to pass through the air return with filter in the event it is located in a cold air return. But an attractive wood return air filter grille may be just the ticket if your furnace is situated somewhere inconvenient where you would rather not venture such as in a cramped attic that would require crawling over loose fiberglass, or even worse in a creepy crawl space under the house which might involve negotiating your way in-between black widow spider nests and hostile alligators. In that event having an air return with filter in a convenient location such as a living room or family room makes an abundance of sense.

Wood return air filter grille

A wood return filter grille is slightly more problematic than a metal one simply because the walls of the box portion that holds the filter add a little extra width. So it is important to look at the provided dimensions and compare those to your wall or ceiling openings and make certain there won't be a problem with it fitting into the opening. But just to make things a little more complicated, depending on which air return with filter that we are talking about there are a few tips and techniques that we have to buy ourselves a little extra space. For example on the geometric wood return air filter grille style we can make the filter box with one eighth inch thick wood instead of the usual one quarter inch wood and that will reduce the box size a total of one quarter inch in both height and width. There are other techniques that we use as well. The smartest thing to do is to call us up with your measurements and we'll think it through with you and come up with a solution that works well. It is amazingly easy to order a wood return air filter grille incorrectly and it is very risky to buy one without some expert advice so we are happy to take whatever time is necessary to consult in order to avoid grief for all parties concerned.
