It's and a great time to check your HVAC filter to see if it needs to be changed. Changing your HVAC filter regularly is important because it protects both your system and your indoor air quality. Here’s why it matters:
🌬️ 1. Cleaner, Healthier Air
Filters trap dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other particles. When they get clogged, those pollutants circulate back into your home, reducing air quality—especially tough for people with allergies or asthma.
⚙️ 2. Better System Efficiency
A clean filter allows air to flow freely. A dirty filter forces your HVAC system to work harder to pull air through, reducing efficiency and increasing energy use.
đź’ˇ 3. Lower Utility Bills
When your HVAC doesn’t have to struggle against a clogged filter, it uses less energy. That translates to monthly savings on your heating and cooling bill.
🛠️ 4. Prevents Costly Repairs
Restricted airflow can cause components—like the blower motor or compressor—to overheat or fail prematurely. Replacing a filter is a cheap, easy way to extend the lifespan of your system.
❄️ 5. More Consistent Temperature Control
A clean filter helps your system maintain steady, comfortable temperatures throughout your home.
đź“… How Often Should You Change It?
Usually every 1–3 months, depending on pets in the home, allergies, the type of filter, how often your system runs, and the dust levels in your home.
