How often do you change your home’s air filter? If you’re
like most folks, the answer is probably “not as often as
you should.” Did you know changing your air filters
regularly can dramatically impact not only the lifespan of
your HVAC unit, but also your own personal wellness?To
prove my point, here are three reasons to change your
home’s air filters regularly!
1. Keep Your Energy Bills Low
Think about your air filter’s job for just a moment. As
air comes through your A/C system, it flows through the
air filter and is then released into your home. The air
filter traps any small particles that might flow through
the system and prevents them entering your house.
The more particles that clog your air filter, the harder
it is for clean air to blow through. This means your air
conditioner must work harder and longer to pull air
through, thus costing you more money. By changing your air
filter monthly, you’ll be able to lessen the workload of
your HVAC system.
2. Prevent Premature Wear on your Air Conditioning System
Going hand-in-hand with the point prior, if your air
conditioner is having to run constantly, it’s going to
eventually cause problems down the road. While the average
lifespan of an HVAC unit is 10-12 years, if your air
conditioner is consistently working overtime, it’s going
to impact its longevity.
A clean air filter helps your A/C unit work as efficiently
as possible, allowing you to keep a replacement at bay.
3. It Betters Your Quality of Health
Finally, the most obvious and the most important reason
you should replace your air filter regularly: it improves
your quality of health. A clean air filter is able to
catch pollen, dust, dander, other particles before they
enter your house.
Clean air inside your home helps keep allergies and asthma
under control, and keeps you well.
