Air Filters

You should change your air filters every 1-2 months. Tenants are responsible for changing air filters during the course of the school year. Generally, B.C. Parker staff will replace the air filters in August prior to school starting and during December and January during holiday break. Air filters can be purchased in many locations including some grocery stores, Home Depot, Lowes and other hardware stores.

How to change your air filter:

• The air filter is located in the dining room [PP.001]
• Remove the cover labeled “FILTER” at the bottom of the AC unit
• Slide the air filter out and replace with new filter [PP.002]
• Air Filter Size: 20 x 20 x 1
• Be sure to point the arrow of the filter UP towards the ceiling. The air flows in from the apartment through the return vent where the filter is located.
• Return the filter cover to original position and tighten the hand screws
