Which way do you install a filter?

What happens if you put air filter in backwards?
If your air handler has to work harder to make up for the loss of air flow through the filter, then you should install it backwards. Higher utility bills could be caused by this.
What happens if you put an air filter in the wrong way?
The fibers of the furnace filters can’t do their job if they are placed backwards. Increased energy costs can be a result of this because your furnace has to work harder to get the same air flow. The furnace is more difficult to draw air from when particles are allowed to build up irregularly.
Do vent filters block air flow?
Vent filters have limitations on the amount of air flowing through them. The passage of air can be slowed by filters. There is more obstruction as particles build up. It can cause your system to work harder and use more power.
