It’s important to change your air filters for your HVAC system regularly. This allows for good air quality in your home, a smooth running system with less energy expenditure, and greater comfort in your residence. When you don’t change your air filters on time, this creates problems with air flow. Ultimately, your HVAC system can overheat or experience serious problems when it’s running on a clogged air filter for too long. Air filters are designed to trap fine particles, pet hair, dust and other contaminants. When the air filter is clogged, those contaminants can no longer be filtered and certain contaminants will continue to recirculate through your home. This results in poor air quality, higher energy bills, health concerns, and potential system failure.
When Should I Replace My Air Filters?
It depends on the style of air filter you choose when determining how often to change it. Some of the best air filters to use are pleated and they are typically changed every 3 months to keep your HVAC system running smoothly with good air quality at home. If you go for cheaper fiberglass filters, they have to be changed more often and won’t provide good air quality. They also don’t protect your HVAC system as well by stopping enough fine particles that work their way into your system, causing problems. You should always make sure your air filters are the right size for your system and make sure the arrows face the right direction when you replace them.
