Why Changing Your HVAC Filter Matters
At B&B Heating & Air Conditioning, we often emphasize the significance of regular maintenance for your heating and cooling systems. One crucial aspect of this maintenance is replacing your HVAC filter. Many homeowners underestimate the impact a clean filter can have on their system’s efficiency and indoor air quality.
How Often Should You Replace Your Filter?
The frequency of filter replacement depends on several factors:
- Type of filter
- Home environment (pets, allergies, etc.)
- System usage
Generally, we recommend checking your filter monthly and replacing it every 1-3 months. However, homes with pets or individuals with allergies may need more frequent replacements.
Benefits of Regular Filter Changes
1. Improved Air Quality: A clean filter traps more airborne particles, reducing allergens and pollutants in your home.
2. Enhanced System Efficiency: When air flows freely through a clean filter, your HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard, potentially reducing energy costs.
3. Extended Equipment Life: Proper filtration prevents dust and debris from accumulating on vital components, potentially extending the lifespan of your system.
4. Consistent Comfort: A well-maintained system with a clean filter can provide more consistent heating and cooling throughout your home.
