Filter Maintenance – A Cost-Effective Means Of Protecting Your Investment
Your home’s HVAC system is an important piece of equipment that is often overlooked until a heating or cooling issue arises. To help prevent spontaneous issues, keep current on your system’s filter maintenance. By taking on this easy do-it-yourself task on a regular basis, you can extend the life of your HVAC system and make sure you and your family are breathing clean air.
Don’t underestimate the significance of an air filter in keeping an HVAC system running smoothly. The filter’s primary job is to capture particles in the air that would otherwise end up somewhere in the system, such as in the motor or ductwork. Once the inner workings of an HVAC system become contaminated with outside debris, the entire system has to work harder just to maintain the temperature setting in the home. The end result? Higher energy bills for you each month and a possible reduction in the lifespan of your system. Proper attention to filter maintenance on your part will ensure that your system isn’t overworked and will help you avoid expensive replacement costs before their time.
Another critical function of an air filter is to to remove commonly-occurring allergens, like dust, pollen and mold. A dirty, clogged filter won’t be able to prevent these airborne contaminants from moving through the HVAC system and into your home. Instead, it becomes more of a storage area and launching point for more allergens to infiltrate your home.
Proper filter maintenance means checking your filter once a month. If it’s dirty or you notice more dust than usual around the house, change it. Make it a part of your monthly home maintenance checklist. Not only will you be helping your HVAC system overall, but you’ll be keeping the air you breathe cleaner and more healthful.
