City of Jacksonville Cuts HVAC Costs & Labor by 33% with K&N Washable Filters

6 YEARS OF COST-FREE FILTRATION AND MEASURABLE OPERATIONAL WINS

In an effort to reduce maintenance costs, improve energy efficiency, and filter lifespan, the City of Jacksonville launched a pilot program to replace disposable HVAC filters with K&N’s washable, reusable filters in four key facilities: Jacksonville City Hall, the Emergency Operations Center (EOC), the Ed Ball Building, and the Animal Care & Protective Services (ACPS) facility.

SUSTAINABILITY

The shift was driven by the need for more durable, cost-effective solutions—especially at ACPS, where over 300 dogs and 100 cats generate high volumes of hair and dust. Traditional filters struggled in this environment, requiring frequent replacements and labor-intensive upkeep. K&N’s high-performance filters not only withstood these challenges but outperformed legacy options in airflow retention, durability, and ease of maintenance.

“Given the pilot’s strong results, Jacksonville is now exploring expansion of K&N’s filtration solution across its entire network of city-owned buildings.”

— Building Maintenance Superintendent
Through regular performance checks and feedback by facilities staff, the team was able to extend filter changeouts from every two months to every three, Jacksonville’s facilities teams significantly cut maintenance labor while improving HVAC performance. As a result, the City is projected to achieve full ROI in just four years—well ahead of the filters’ 10-year lifespan. That translates to six additional years of cost-free filtration, equating to hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings across labor, materials, and energy.
