Why Changing Your Air Filter Regularly Will Pay Off

|

Changing your air filter regularly may be the easiest and one of the most important maintenance routines you can do for your home. Here’s facts you should know about your air-conditioning system from the U.S. Department of Energy.

Check your filter every month, especially during heavy use months of winter and summer. If the filter looks dirty after a month, change it. At a minimum, change the filter every three months. A dirty filter will slow down air flow and make the system work harder to keep you warm or cool — wasting energy. A clean filter will also prevent dust and dirt from building up in the system — leading to expensive maintenance and/or early system failure.
