Do you want to increase your home’s comfort while boosting your HVAC system’s efficiency? Regular HVAC filter changes make a huge difference in how well your home gets heated and cooled, but filtered air also plays a role in indoor air quality (IAQ). Here’s why you should always make regular filter changes a priority at your Ocala, FL, home:
Improves Heating and Cooling
Changing your HVAC filter is one of the best ways to improve your comfort. Have you noticed warmer air emanating from the vents when you’re running the AC system? You might think you need an AC repair, but first check the filter. Is it dirty? A clogged filter makes it difficult for the AC system to distribute the air, resulting in warm air spewing from vents.
Safeguards Your Home’s IAQ
Your home’s IAQ directly affects your household’s health, and air filters play a large role. It’s the filter’s job to trap airborne pollutants and prevent them from releasing back into the air when the air conditioner runs. When air filters get too dirty, they can’t do their jobs well anymore. They no longer efficiently trap pollutants and release them back into the air. Replacing the air filter regularly helps your household breathe cleaner air and lowers allergy and asthma symptoms.
Reduces the HVAC System’s Workload
HVAC systems with dirty air filters must work harder, which puts unnecessary pressure on the motor and other system components. The extra strain on the system often leads to higher operating costs, emergency repairs and untimely HVAC replacement.
HVAC Filter Change Recommendations
HVAC specialists recommend you change your filter every 30-90 days. When you buy replacement filters, read the manufacturer’s recommendations for a changing schedule. Since it’s easy to forget about replacing the filter, set an alarm on your phone to remind you. Air filter changes take only a few seconds to complete but deliver long-lasting benefits.
