Second Nature is a vetted partner of ours that delivers air filters directly to your home in a way that lines up with our maintenance processes. Each shipment contains the exact number of high-quality filters your home needs, at the time you need to change them. This acts as a physical reminder that it is time to change them.

Changing filters pays for itself on your energy bills. It also means your home will heat up and cool down faster for a more comfortable experience. A dirty filter is the #1 reason for HVAC system failures. It restricts the airflow into your HVAC systems air handler, which then strains, and oftentimes burns out the motor controlling airflow. Most HVAC repairs start around $400-$2,000 and a full replacement can be as much as $10,000 or more. Also, indoor air quality can be 2-5X worse than outdoor air quality. Your family will have better sleep, get sick less often, and feel better breathing cleaner air. It’s a small thing for you to do, but it makes a big difference, which is why it is a requirement.

In addition to being required as part of your lease the filter delivery serves more than one purpose. First it saves you a trip to the store, and on top of that having it delivered right to your door is a great reminder to get the filter changed. The best benefit of all is that changing filters regularly significantly reduces the need for maintenance on the system. You might be asking yourself why that matters to you, and the simple answer is that less mechanical failures means the system is less likely to stop working on those extremely hot Texas summer days or during a freeze in the middle of winter. Review the study here.

Changing filters is a resident responsibility, like light bulbs or any other consumable product. You don’t have to do it yourself, if you wanted to ask a family member or hire someone else to do it, but we’ve made it as easy as possible by ensuring exactly what you need shows up exactly when it is needed. If there is a problem with the HVAC system itself, that is something we will address, and please notify us by submitting a maintenance request if you notice a problem.

Yes, we will email you the minute your shipment has left our warehouse. You’ll be able to track your shipment throughout its journey before arriving on your doorstep.

Please contact your property manager and let them know so we can be sure the correct filters are delivered to your home. We will upgrade you to a super allergen-grade filter at no additional cost.
