These return vents do not have filters on them. The filter is in our huge unit up in the attic. It does not let the dust and pet hair get into the duct system at all. I know of the filters you are speaking about because we had them in our last house. I hated cleaning them! lol! :)DeeDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14769032260565080949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160261824189693991.post-56637598759347501792018-11-11T15:07:30.537-06:002018-11-11T15:07:30.537-06:00I keep two cut at all times so I have a clean one ...I keep two cut at all times so I have a clean one each month.

I don't understand why this air return did not have a filter in it. I have two returns and I buy the kind of filter at Walmart that looks like horse hair or something and you cut it to size. I keep 2 cut at all times so I have one clean to change each month. One big one is only about 6.00 and you just use the water hose on it to clean it. No frame needed or anything but it catches all the dirt, pet hair, etc. Would be much more healthier than letting that get in your duct system and come thru all your house when the AC/Heat kicks on. Why would it not have one of some kind in there?Diannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04547424754813708547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160261824189693991.post-19684582476004555892018-02-04T17:16:33.885-06:002018-02-04T17:16:33.885-06:00Hi there Unknown! I'm sorry that you don't...Hi there Unknown! I'm sorry that you don't understand. This IS just one of our return air vents in our home. This house was built in 1982 so maybe that's how they did it back then. I've not owned a brand new house so I'm not sure how they are done now. My family home that was built in the 40s was also like this. <br /><br />Why would you say its highly dangerous? There is nothing dangerous about it at all.<br /><br />I apologize that my post is disturbing to you and I hope you have a nice day. :)DeeDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14769032260565080949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160261824189693991.post-31863534821903322572018-02-04T16:00:54.164-06:002018-02-04T16:00:54.164-06:00I don't understand what this thing in the wall...I don't understand what this thing in the wall is supposed to be. It is highly dangerous as it is surely not an A.C. return. Where is the vent. Maybe I don't understand. Were you just teaching how to paint the register? If you thought that was a return you were taken. Returns don't look like that. They have a large pipe or tubing leading out, not just empty wall. Help me understand.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05290444706006419711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160261824189693991.post-8249154311972252182018-02-04T16:00:53.314-06:002018-02-04T16:00:53.314-06:00I don't understand what this thing in the wall...I don't understand what this thing in the wall is supposed to be.

I never thought about cleaning these mostly because I have almost always lived in an apartment. I am soooo afraid to look in mine! I have been at my current apartment for just over 5 years and I know it has never been done. I'm scared to see what mine looks like!!
