Air-filter tracking for homeowners and landlords

Know when every filter is due.

Filterping keeps a countdown for every HVAC system across your properties. Put an NFC tag on each spare filter; scanning it with your phone records the change and restarts the clock.

How it works

Tag. Scan. Done.

Recording a filter change is one scan and one confirmation. No forms, no typing.

  1. Tag

    Stick an NFC tag on each spare filter and link it to its system once. The tag holds only its chip ID: no address, no personal data.

  2. Scan

    When the new filter goes in, hold your phone near its tag. Filterping knows which system the tag belongs to.

  3. Done

    Confirm it's installed. The countdown restarts, and a reminder arrives before the next change is due.

Features

For one house or a whole portfolio

Several properties, tenants who change their own filters, and a furnace in a basement with no signal.

Every system, sorted by urgency

Overdue first, then due soon, then everything that's fine. Filter by property. Each system keeps its own interval and its own "due soon" warning window.

Tenants see their own filter

Invite a tenant with a single-use code that expires after 48 hours. They see the countdown for their system, can record a change themselves, and can ask you for filters.

Optional readers at the unit

A small reader (ESP32 with a PN532 NFC module) mounted by the unit checks on a schedule that a tagged filter is in place. It reports over Wi-Fi first, or LTE on the cellular model. A check-in is never counted as a filter change.

Works in the basement

No signal by the furnace? The change is saved on your phone and sent as soon as you're back online.
