    When it comes to keeping your air cleaner, why work harder when you can work smarter? The Filtrete™ Smart App takes the guesswork out of achieving fresher, cleaner air for you and your family. Whether you’re tackling pet dander, household dust or seasonal allergens, our app works behind the scenes so you can focus on other things.

    Imagine this: You’re juggling work emails, grocery lists and everything else on your plate. The last thing on your mind? Probably your air filter. That’s where our app comes in. Acting like your personal air-quality assistant, it keeps tabs on your filters, air quality and more, so you don’t have to. Here’s how the app transforms your air care routine:

    1. Never forget an air filter change again

    An air filter change tends to fall under the “out of sight, out of mind” category, leaving you wondering how often to change an air filter or furnace filter. The Filtrete™ Smart App takes the guesswork out of it by keeping track for you.
     

    • Scan any filter barcode from your phone to add it to the app. 
    • Receive helpful air filter reminders when it’s time for replacement, keeping your air consistently cleaner.

    Paired with Filtrete™ Smart Air Filters, the app gets even smarter. It adapts to real-life conditions, like pet shedding or home renovations, and adjusts a filter’s lifespan so you only change your filter when the time is truly right.

    2. Keep every filter on your radar

    Have one HVAC system? Two? Or maybe a vacation home thrown into the mix? With our app, you can monitor all your filters (yes, all of them) from a single dashboard.
     

    • Add filters by location and give each one a helpful nickname. (“Puppy Palace,” anyone?)
    • Access updates anytime, whether you’re on the couch or halfway across the country.

    3. Stay alert to outdoor air quality

    What about the air beyond your front door? The Filtrete™ Smart App pulls real-time updates from trusted air quality service and puts essential outdoor information at your fingertips.
     

    • Check the air around your neighborhood or enter a zip code to explore another location.
    • Get alerts on air quality conditions before you head outside.

    With easy-to-read ratings from “good” to “severe,” you’ll have a clearer picture of the air you’re breathing no matter your location.

    4. Better air, made easy

    We believe in simple, effective solutions, not complicated routines. That’s why we deliver concise, actionable tips directly to your app every other week.
     

    • Consider it your essential home maintenance guide.
    • Read timely advice, like sealing drafty windows before winter or prepping for allergen season this weekend.

    These aren’t burdensome tasks. They’re low-effort, high-impact strategies designed to improve your air quality without disrupting your life.

    5. Simplify your shopping experience

    Can you recall your air filter size right now? Don’t worry, neither can most people. With the app, you don’t have to.
     

    • Log your air filter size and specs for fuss-free online ordering or in-store browsing.
    • Need a new air filter? Order it right from your phone and have it delivered to your front door. Done and done.

    Now, you can skip any aisle confusion and get back to the rest of your day.
