A duct filter bag used in connection with a heating and air conditioning vent, the duct filter bag comprising:
- a flexible filter body constructed of an air permeable material that catches particles exiting the vent, the flexible filter body having a filter volume, the flexible filter body configured to deform to increase the filter volume based on caught particles, the flexible filter body disposed outside the vent toward a room in fluid communication with the vent;
- an attachment assembly connected to the filter body, wherein the flexible filter body extends outward from the vent relative to the attachment assembly to define the filter volume, the attachment assembly being adapted to directly attach the flexible filter body to a vent cover or wall parallel to the vent cover such that the filter volume is in registry with the vent.
A method of providing a temporary filter for an HVAC vent, a method comprising:
- providing a flexible duct filter bag having a filter body constructed of a breathable material capable of catching particles travelling out of the vent, wherein the flexible duct filter bag has a volume that is expandable based on collection of the particles;
- providing an attachment assembly about a perimeter of the filter body;
- and
- fastening the attachment assembly directly to a vent cover or wall parallel to the vent cover to place the filter body in registry with the vent and disposed outside the vent toward a room in fluid communication with the vent.
