Importance Of Hvac Filters

Changing your HVAC filter is vital to indoor air quality and helping your HVAC system run efficiently.

Filters play a crucial role by collecting dirt, mold, dander, pollen, and dust mite debris.  As these particles accumulate, they build up and make it nearly impossible for air to pass through.  This can cause your HVAC system to break down or overheat resulting in costly repairs or replacement.

When a filter becomes clogged, it will make your system work harder which will increase your energy bills.  A clean filter can save you up to 15% on your utility bill and purchasing a filter is fairly inexpensive.

Filters are also extremely important to the air quality of your home.  If you or anyone in your family suffers from allergies or asthma, a dirty filter can worsen symptoms by spreading allergens throughout your home.  Changing your filter will maintain healthy indoor air quality.

Your HVAC system filter should be changed regularly.  It’s important to remember to change it more frequently when needed, such as during the winter months when you’re using your heating system more often or if you are remodeling your home which can cause an excess of dust and debris.

In addition to changing your filter, it is recommended by all HVAC equipment manufactures, and by Verne & Ellsworth Hann, to have annual routine maintenance on your HVAC system.  Our expert technicians can change your filter during this yearly visit and instruct you on how to do it yourself throughout the year, if necessary.
