HVAC filters are an often overlooked but crucial component of home maintenance. The traditional advice of changing filters every three to six months can seem excessive, especially when the filter doesn't appear dirty. This is where Woosh's Smart Filter system steps in. Founded by ex-Googler Winston Mok, Woosh aims to provide homeowners with a clear understanding of when to replace their filters, reducing waste and ensuring optimal air quality.

The Woosh Smart Filter Experience

After nine months of using Woosh's smart filter system, the visibility provided into home air quality has been impressive. Rather than guessing based on the filter's appearance, users can now view the remaining lifespan of their filter in the app. This eliminates the need for frequent trips to the hardware store and the uncertainty around when to replace the filter.

Installing the Woosh Smart Filter

To install the Woosh system, first measure your return air vent to determine the correct frame size. Woosh offers several sizes and is continually adding more. The frame includes a gateway that magnetically attaches to your vent grille, connecting the system to the Woosh app (available on Android and iOS).

Beyond Filter Replacement: Air Purification

In addition to its smart filter replacement system, Woosh's product can also serve as a whole-home air purifier when paired with the company's Air Quality Monitor and a compatible smart thermostat. The system can automatically activate your HVAC's fan circulation to expel volatile compounds, ensuring clean indoor air.

I've had Woosh's smart filter system in my home for nine months now, and I like the visibility I get with my home's air quality. I vastly prefer seeing my filter's remaining lifespan in the app rather than opening up the grille, checking how dirty it is, shrugging, and running to Home Depot.
