Change Your Furnace Filters - It is important that you change your furnace filters every month. Below, we have the top 5 reasons why you should change your furnace filters.
1. Extend the life of the furnace and equipment. The air traveling through your ductwork passes through the filter before anything else. The dirtier the filter, the harder your blower motors have to work in order to pull the air through the system. This extra strain can cause the motor to overheat or possibly stop working. A repair like this would cost a lot more than a new filter. Replacing the filter is an easy way to prolong the life of your HVAC system.
2. Keep energy costs down. A clogged filter restricts the air traveling through your system. The dirtier the filter is, the harder your system has to work. The Department of Energy says that typical households spend about $2,200 a year on energy bills. If you constantly change your filter, you could save 5-15% on your utility bills.
3. Breathe Cleaner Air. A filter's job is exactly as it sounds: to filter. A dirty filter can actually make the air quality in your home worse rather than making it better. If you have pets, it is even more important that you change your filter frequently due to the added pet hair and dander that will accumulate in the system. Changing the filter will help in keeping the air quality in your house from deteriorating.
4. Keep your system clean. The filter blocks dirt from entering your HVAC equipment. If the filter gets really dirty, that dirt can end up making its way through the entire HVAC system. This could cause extra repairs on your system.
5. Easy. Replacing your furnace filters is extremely easy and a cheap way to help your system to continue to run efficiently and reliably.
