The Hidden Impact of Clean Air Filters
When it comes to maintaining your HVAC system, one of the most overlooked yet crucial tasks is regularly changing your air filters. While it might seem like a minor detail in the grand scheme of home maintenance, the impact of clean air filters extends far beyond what meets the eye.
Here’s why staying on top of your air filter maintenance is absolutely essential:
Energy Efficiency Benefits
• Lower monthly utility bills
• Reduced strain on HVAC components
• Better airflow throughout your home
• Improved system performance
Health and Comfort Advantages
1. Decreased airborne allergens
2. Reduced dust circulation
3. Better indoor air quality
4. Less respiratory irritation
Many homeowners don’t realize that a clogged air filter can increase energy consumption by up to 15%. That’s why at B&B Heating & Air Conditioning, we always emphasize the importance of regular filter changes during maintenance visits.
How Often Should You Change Your Filter?
The frequency of changes depends on several factors:
• Home occupancy
• Presence of pets
• Local air quality
• Filter type and quality
For most households, changing the filter every 60-90 days is recommended. However, homes with pets or family members with allergies might need monthly changes.
Remember, maintaining clean air filters is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to ensure your HVAC system runs efficiently while providing clean, healthy air for your family. Don’t wait until you notice problems – make filter changes a regular part of your home maintenance routine.
