Us vs Them
The Yoor Air Difference
Other filter companies want you to buy their product because it’s familiar. We want you to buy ours because it’s not trash. The others? They’re trash. Yeah, we said it.
Does your filter wiggle when installed? That means it’s letting dust blow right around it. Yoor air heating and cooling filters fit tight, trapping microbes before they invade your home.
We know you don't believe us (conspiracy theorists included), so we put together this comparison chart to really show you The Yoor Air Difference.
Furnace and A/C Filters for Anyone Who Cares About Their Home's Air Quality

- Depth Loading Media
- Robust Filter Design
- Synthetic Filter Media
- Galvanized Steel Wire Frame
- Odor Elimination
- Family Owned x Made Locally
Antimicrobial Treated
Yoor Air Filters:
Our antimicrobial system is a key component in improving indoor air quality (IAQ). Microorganisms are chemically destroyed when they come in contact with the this filter media. Airborne microorganisms are reduced by up to 86.5% on the 1st pass and continues to increase in effectiveness with each additional pass.
Traditional Filters:
Other filters are electrostatically charged to reduce microbial growth. The electrostatic charge slowly dissipates, thus reducing the microbial protection over time.
Extended Self-Sealing Gasket
Yoor Air Filters:
Eliminates "filter chatter" by snugging the frame in place. This prevents dirty air from bypassing the filter which equates to cleaner indoor air, extended furnace life and reduced repairs.
This feature, combined with the strong wire frame is what allows a 1" filter to be used in a wider track. You'll see a noticeable decrease in the amount of dust on your coffee table!
Traditional Filters:
Those cardboard framed filters can flutter and whistle due to air bypassing the filter,allowing unfiltered air to flow around the filter frame. Even if you’re using a MERV 13 filter, the bypassed air is MERV 0! This dirty air builds up in your vents and on your HVAC coils, increasing your energy consumption by up to 37% and decreasing the overall MERV rating.
Depth Loading Media
Yoor Air Filters:
Media layers "sift" dirt based on the particle size. This multiplies the filter surface area of the filter. An independent study showed Yoor Air 3-Ply filters outlive a high capacity pleated filter by 75%, meaning you achieve nearly twice the service life using a Yoor Air filter compared to other high capacity filters.
Traditional Filters:
Pleated filters capture particulates on the surface of the media only. (boring, we know)
Robust Filter Design
Yoor Air Filters:
Our filters are compressible, which means more space saving storage. The wire frame and spongy media allow you to compress and stack the filters. As an added bonus, substituting a 1" filter for your 2-6" filters multiplies the space savings.
Traditional Filters:
Oh, you can compress pleated filters. Sadly, they won't be usable, but you can compress them. Might as well throw them in the trash.
Synthetic Filter Media
Yoor Air Filters:
Impenetrable to mold and microbial growth.
Traditional Filters:
Cardboard and paper fibers inherently attract moisture which can promote mold regardless of a protective coating.
Galvanized Steel Wire Frame
Yoor Air Filters:
The inner wire frame allows a 1" filter to be used in a 2-6" track without ever having to worry about it breaking, cracking or becoming moisture-laden. Nope, none of that.
Traditional Filters:
Those other shitty pleated filters are subject to moisture and will eventually loose its rigidity and deteriorate, causing the filter to collapse and be sucked into the ductwork. This would send all the collected dust and particulates into your furnace and recirculate into your home. Uhhh, YUCK!
Odor Elimination
Yoor Air Filters:
Our patented carbon filter manufacturing process allows the carbon to retain over 95% of its usable surface area. Our carbon loading equates to 484 grams per square foot (it's fine, we don't know what that even means either).
Traditional Filters:
Carbon typically holds only 1/3 of its own weight. Little information is available on other filter brands.
Family Owned x Made Locally
Yoor Air Filters:
Components and assembly are made in the USA giving us greater control over supply chain. How do you say... 'Merica!
Traditional Filters:
Many HVAC filters are made in the USA, but many are not.
