Trion Air Bear Air Filters & Furnace Filters

Trion Air Bear filters are a well-respected brand of whole-house air cleaners designed to improve indoor air quality. These 5-inch thick filters integrate into your HVAC system and use a thick, pleated filter to trap airborne particles as small as 1 micron. Air bear air filters successfully trap allergens such as pollen, dust, pet dander, and mold spores.

They offer superior filtration because of their large surface area and due to their MERV 8, MERV 11, and MERV 13 ratings. They effectively filter four times the amount of particulates than a mass-market 1-inch filter does. Air Filters Delivered carries Trion Air bear filters in sizes including 20x25x5  and 20x20x5 as well as several other sizes, for your convenience. 

Trion Air Bear filters need to be changed every 6 to 12 months. While higher MERV-rated filters are better at trapping small particles, they may need changing more often if you have pets, allergies, use your heating or cooling system often, or live in a polluted area. Check it for visible dirt, reduced airflow, or uneven temperatures which are signs that the filter needs to be replaced. A professional HVAC maintenance technician can help you figure out the right replacement schedule for your system. Noticing the warning signs of a dirty filter is the best way to know when it's time to replace it. 

You shouldn’t clean your Trion air filters because attempting to clean them can damage their filter media and reduce their effectiveness. Disposable air bear furnace filters need to be replaced when they are dirty instead of cleaning them. They’re made of pleated material that traps small particles and washing or vacuuming them can damage them. Washed filters can develop moisture creating mold and bacteria that could circulate in your house and cause health issues. 

A 20x25x5 Trion Air Bear filter typically needs replacing every 6 to 12 months. In areas with poor air quality or those with pets or allergies may need more frequent filter replacements. Regular inspections by an HVAC technician are recommended to determine your filter’s condition. Reduced airflow or visible dirt on the filter means it's time to change it so your system operates properly. 

Accessing and opening a Trion Air Bear filter housing is a straightforward process. Find the access panel, which is typically on the side of the Air Bear unit. It might be secured by latches, screws, or both. Disengage the latches and remove any screws. The access panel should swing open and reveal the filter inside. Notice the direction of the airflow arrows printed on the filter before removing it, because you'll need to install the new filter in the same direction. Carefully slide the old filter out, and replace it with the new one. 

Installing a Trion furnace filter properly is important so it works the way it's supposed to. If you install it the wrong way, it could make your HVAC system work harder or potentially clog up. 

Debris can also build up on the blower wheel and other parts of your HVAC system and cause them to malfunction.

The arrows on your air filter have to point toward the furnace or air handler in your HVAC duct for it to work properly.

If you install it backwards, it will restrict your airflow and make your HVAC system work harder. Dust or debris can bypass your filter and then accumulate in your ductwork.  If you get moisture in your ductwork because the filter was installed backwards, it might create mold and bacteria that impact the air quality in your home and cause health problems for you or your family.

Always ensure your air bear filter is installed in the correct direction for maximum efficiency and protection.  If you need help ensuring that your air filter is properly installed and the right size for your HVAC system, contact Air Filters Delivered for assistance.

Trion Air Bear air filters can help manage allergies and asthma by reducing airborne allergens in your home. Filters with higher MERV ratings like 11 or 13, capture triggers like dust mites, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other tiny particles. Trion Air Bear filters provide filtration for your entire home, not just one room. They can improve air quality if you have respiratory sensitivities. For even more protection from allergies, combine your Trion Air Filter with frequent cleaning and allergen-proof bed linens. 

Air Bear filters distinguish themselves from other HVAC filter options partially due to their thickness. They are 5 inches thick which is much thicker than standard 1-inch filters.  Their depth provides a bigger surface area to trap more airborne particles and capture more dust, pollen, and pet dander for better overall filtration than other types of HVAC air filters.
