Why You Should Regularly Change Your Furnace Filter

The air filter to your furnace is an important part of keeping your home’s air clean. This physical medium traps dust and other particles, preventing them from being blown into your home.

Regularly changing this filter will go a long way in providing a host of benefits to your home and your HVAC system.

New Filters Makes Your Furnace Last Longer

Changing your air filters regularly with help with maintaining the health of your HVAC and furnace. When your furnace filter is dirty, your furnace works harder to run air through the filter to compensate for blockage.

Clean filters allow air to flow freely, keeping your HVAC healthy and preventing inadequate heating and cooling and frozen evaporator coils.

Changing Filters Saves Money On Energy Costs

When you do not change your furnace filter, the buildup on the filter causes your furnace to work harder, leading to increased energy costs.

Changing your furnace filter regularly will help prevent unnecessary stress on your furnace, making it work more efficiently.

Fresh Filters Provide Improved Air Quality

Regularly changing your air filters will do much to improve your air quality in your home. This is especially important if you or anyone else in your home has allergies or respiratory conditions such as allergies.

When you have a physical filter, it will need to be changed regularly depending on its size and your home environment. If the filter is visibly dirty or your home is more dusty than normal it is time to change the filter.
