Your air filter is a small but vital component of your HVAC system. Depending on the type of filter, it should be checked or replaced every 1–3 months. Even if you use high-end, cleanable air filters designed to last a year, it’s worth taking a minute to inspect them regularly for dirt or debris that could obstruct airflow.
Why It Matters
- Protect Your HVAC System: The air filter prevents pollution and debris from entering your system, helping it run smoothly.
- Maintain Efficiency: A clogged air filter forces your furnace or air conditioner to work harder, reducing efficiency.
- Lower Energy Bills: Dirty filters can increase energy consumption, leading to higher utility costs.
The Risks of Neglect
Failing to change or clean your air filter regularly can result in:
- Reduced airflow and uneven heating or cooling.
- Increased strain on your HVAC system, leading to potential breakdowns.
- Poor indoor air quality, allowing allergens and dust to circulate in your home.
Don’t Let This Happen to You!
Take a proactive approach to maintaining your HVAC system. Regular air filter changes are a quick, cost-effective way to:
- Keep your system running efficiently.
- Extend the life of your HVAC equipment.
- Save money on energy bills and repairs.
