Breathe Easy with Clean Air Filters
At Roger’s Plumbing & Heating, we often encounter homeowners who overlook one of the simplest yet most crucial aspects of maintaining their air conditioning systems: changing the air filters regularly. This small task can have a significant impact on your home’s air quality, energy efficiency, and the longevity of your HVAC system.
Why Air Filters Are Important
Air filters serve as the first line of defense against airborne particles in your home. They trap:
- Dust and dirt
- Pollen
- Pet dander
- Mold spores
By capturing these particles, air filters help maintain clean air circulation throughout your home, which is especially important for those with allergies or respiratory issues.
The Benefits of Regular Filter Changes
1. Improved Air Quality: Clean filters mean cleaner air for you and your family to breathe.
2. Enhanced Energy Efficiency: A clogged filter forces your AC to work harder, consuming more energy.
3. Extended HVAC Lifespan: Regular filter changes reduce strain on your system, potentially adding years to its life.
4. Lower Utility Bills: An efficiently running AC system uses less energy, saving you money on cooling costs.
How Often Should You Change Your Filter?
The frequency of filter changes depends on various factors, including:
– Type of filter
– Household size
– Presence of pets
– Local air quality
As a general rule, we recommend checking your filter monthly and replacing it at least every 90 days. However, homes with pets or in areas with high pollution may need more frequent changes.
