Filter Maintenance

Changing the air filters in your home is important for several key reasons that impact both your health and the operation of your heating and cooling (HVAC) system: 1. Better air quality: Filters trap dust, pollen, mold, pet hair, and other particles circulating in the air. Over time, these filters become clogged and are no longer effective, allowing these particles to be returned to the air you breathe. Change them regularly to improve the air quality inside your home. 2. Energy savings: A dirty filter causes the HVAC system to work harder to push air through the system, which increases energy consumption and electric bills. Changing the filter regularly allows the system to operate efficiently. 3. Longer HVAC system life: The extra strain a clogged filter puts on your heating or cooling system can lead to unnecessary wear and tear, which could result in costly repairs or even the need to replace the system prematurely. 4. Reduced allergies and respiratory problems: A clean filter traps more particles that can aggravate allergies, asthma, or respiratory problems. Keeping filters clean helps maintain a healthier environment. 5. Better temperature control: When the system operates without obstructions, you can better maintain the desired temperature in your home, giving you greater comfort. Changing filters regularly, usually every 1 to 3 months, is a simple task that has great benefits for both your well-being and the efficiency of your home.
