Is Your HVAC System Working Harder Than It Should?
At Eastside Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc., we often encounter a common issue that many homeowners overlook: dirty air filters. While it may seem like a minor detail, the impact of a clogged air filter on your HVAC system can be surprisingly significant.
The Hidden Costs of Neglecting Your Air Filter
When your air filter becomes clogged with dust, pet dander, and other particles, it forces your HVAC system to work harder to maintain the desired temperature. This extra strain can lead to:
- Increased energy consumption
- Higher utility bills
- Reduced system efficiency
- Premature wear and tear on components
The Simple Solution
Fortunately, addressing this issue is straightforward and cost-effective. Regular air filter replacement can:
1. Improve air quality in your home
2. Enhance HVAC system performance
3. Extend the lifespan of your equipment
4. Reduce energy costs
How Often Should You Change Your Air Filter?
The frequency of air filter replacement depends on various factors, including:
– Type of filter
– Number of occupants and pets in your home
– Local air quality
As a general rule, we recommend checking your filter monthly and replacing it at least every 90 days.
By paying attention to this often-overlooked component, you can ensure your HVAC system operates at peak efficiency, potentially saving you money on energy bills and costly repairs down the line.
