How Airestor Works — Filters Made Easy
Airestor
How the program works

The whole filter problem, handled.

You already buy filters from somewhere. The hard part isn’t buying them — it’s knowing the sizes, counting them, reordering before you run out, getting the right person to actually change them, and proving it was done. Airestor runs that entire program for your property, so your team never thinks about it again.

Why filters become a headache

Buying filters is easy.
Managing them is the job.

Across dozens of units and a half-dozen sizes, the work isn’t the purchase — it’s everything around it. That’s where the cost and the risk actually live.

Reorder chaos

Someone has to know every size, count what’s needed, and reorder before you run out. When that slips, it becomes an emergency store run on the worst possible day.

Wasted labor

Your maintenance team loses hours sorting sizes, hauling boxes, and tripping over inventory in the shop — time they should be spending on actual property work.

No proof it was done

When a tenant complains or a brand inspector asks “was the filter changed?”, you need a record in seconds — not a scramble through paperwork that may not exist.

How it works

From first call to fully off your plate — in four steps.

No long contract negotiation, no software for your team to learn. It works the same whether your tenants change their own filters, your maintenance team does, or you hand the whole job to us. Here’s exactly what happens.

1

We map your property — free

We walk your property (or work from your unit list) and document every filter size, every count, and every change interval across all your buildings. You get a complete portfolio map even if you’ve never had one. This is the free audit — no commitment, and it’s yours to keep.

Takes about 10 minutes per property to scope
2

We build your schedule

Using the map, we set a replenishment cadence matched to your actual change intervals — monthly, quarterly, or per your preventive-maintenance cycle. You approve it once. From then on, the right filters arrive in the right quantities, right before they’re due. No more guessing, no more bulk over-ordering.

You approve the plan once — then it runs itself
3

We deliver — and tell the right person it’s time

We don’t drop a mixed pallet on your driveway. Every filter is pre-packaged and labeled per unit and delivered directly where it’s needed. Then the part most programs miss: an automatic text or email goes out so the change actually happens. If your tenants swap their own filters, they get a friendly heads-up with a link to a 60-second how-to video. If your maintenance team handles it, your techs get a unit-by-unit work list the day the filters land. You tell us who does the work — we make sure they know, every cycle.

Tenant or maintenance team — notified automatically, every time

Want it fully hands-off? Add our installation service and Airestor performs the change-outs for you — delivery, swap, and documentation handled end to end.

We document everything

Every delivery and change is logged. When a tenant complains, a brand standard is audited, or a habitability question comes up, you pull the record in seconds. That documentation is the difference between “I think so” and proof — and it’s built into the program at no extra charge.

Inspection-ready records, always current
What’s in the program

One service. Everything around the filter.

The filter is the commodity. The program is what removes the work, the risk, and the surprises.

Automatic replenishment

You’ll never place a filter order again. The right sizes and counts arrive on schedule, before you need them — reordering simply disappears as a task.

Full portfolio map

A complete record of every unit and every size across your property, kept current as your buildings change. Ordering is never a guessing game again.

Smart change reminders

The moment filters are delivered, an automatic text or email tells the right person it’s time — your tenants, your maintenance team, or both. No more filters that arrive and sit unused.

Compliance documentation

Proof that filters were delivered and changed on schedule — for habitability, liability, and brand-standard requirements. Available the moment you need it.

Free offsite storage

We hold any existing bulk inventory at our local warehouse at no cost, and clear out your maintenance closet. Only what you need for the current cycle shows up.

Indoor air quality options

From standard MERV 8 protection up to MERV 13 for finer particles — clean air that shows up in guest experience and tenant comfort, matched to each property.

Local & on-call

We’re based here in the Treasure Valley. When something changes or you need filters fast, you reach a local team — not a national call center.

Installation service ADD-ON

Don’t want anyone on your side touching a filter? Add our installation service and our team performs the change-outs unit by unit — fully hands-off, fully documented.

What it really costs

The filter is the cheapest line in the whole program.

Our per-filter price is competitive with what you pay now. The savings come from everything we take out of your operation — the part most operators never put a number on.

Managing it yourself

  • Staff hours sorting, counting, and reordering
  • Emergency store runs when a size runs out
  • Bulk over-ordering and damaged, dusty inventory
  • Energy waste and equipment wear from late changes
  • No record when a complaint or inspection lands

Running it with Airestor

  • Zero reorder labor — it arrives automatically
  • Never out of a size, so no emergency runs
  • Only what you need, when you need it
  • On-schedule changes protect your HVAC equipment
  • Documentation ready the second someone asks

Why we don’t lead with a discount: a filter-price war just trades one commodity for a cheaper one and leaves all the real costs in place. We compete by taking the work and the risk out of your operation — and we’ll show you the full comparison for your specific property during the free audit.

Fair questions

The things property managers actually ask us.

Can’t I just get filters cheaper at Home Depot or Amazon?+
On the basic commodity sizes, sometimes yes. But that price ignores the labor to manage it, the emergency runs when you’re out, and the fact that there’s no record when someone asks if a filter was changed. We’re competitive on the filter itself and take the rest of the cost out of your operation — which is where the real spend lives.
We already buy from a supplier. Why switch?+
You may not need to switch suppliers so much as switch from buying filters to running a program. A supplier sends boxes. We map your portfolio, auto-replenish so you never run out, deliver to every door, and document every change. If you’d like, we’ll run a side-by-side on a single property so you can see the difference on your own numbers.
A filter is a filter — what am I really paying for?+
The filter, sure. But the program isn’t a commodity. The question was never which filter — it’s who’s making sure the right one is on-site, on schedule, and documented, without your team chasing it. That’s the product.
We handle it in-house and it’s working fine.+
Glad it’s working. The thing about in-house filter management is that it usually only fails as an emergency — a stockout, a frozen coil, or a complaint you can’t answer. The free audit just shows you where the gaps are, with no obligation. If everything’s airtight, you’ll have a clean portfolio map for your trouble.
I’d have to run this by the owner or corporate.+
That’s normal, and we make it easy. We’ll do the free audit and build you a one-page summary — including the cost comparison — that you can take straight to whoever signs off. Tell us who needs to be convinced and we’ll make sure it speaks to them.
How long does it take to get started?+
The audit takes about ten minutes per property to scope. Once you approve the schedule, your first delivery is set up right away. There’s no software for your team to install and no long onboarding — the whole point is that it runs without you.
Good to know

A few more details.

What kinds of properties do you serve?+
Apartment complexes, hotels and motels, and property management groups across the Treasure Valley. Whether you run a single property or a portfolio, the program scales to your unit count and change schedule.
What filter sizes and ratings do you carry?+
A full range of standard HVAC sizes across 1″, 2″, 4″, and 5″ depths, in MERV 8 through MERV 13 depending on the property’s needs. During the audit we recommend the right mix per unit — higher-efficiency where it matters, standard where it doesn’t.
Who actually changes the filters?+
Whoever you want. The program works three ways: your tenants change their own filters (we send them a friendly text or email with a how-to video when their filter arrives), your maintenance team does it (we send your techs a unit-by-unit work list each cycle), or our team handles the change-outs for you as an add-on installation service. Many properties mix approaches across buildings — that’s fine. The notifications and documentation work the same regardless of who turns the screwdriver.
How do the text and email reminders work?+
When a delivery goes out, we trigger a notification to whoever is responsible for the change. Tenants get a short, friendly message with a link to a how-to video; maintenance teams get a per-unit work list. You decide who’s notified and how — text, email, or both — and we set it up during onboarding. There’s nothing for your team to manage; it runs on the same schedule as your deliveries.
Is there a long-term contract?+
The program runs as a subscription because that’s what makes it work — the filters arrive automatically. We’ll walk through terms during the audit. The starting point is always the free portfolio map, which carries no obligation.
What does it cost?+
Pricing depends on your sizes, counts, and schedule — so quoting before we’ve mapped your property would just be a guess. The per-filter price is competitive with what you pay today; the value is in the managed program around it. The free audit produces real numbers tailored to your property, presented as a full cost comparison against what you spend now.
