Air Filters
Every house has air filters. Air filters removes solid particulates : dust, cold, pollen and bacteria from the air. Filters containing an adsorbent or catalyst such as charcoal may also remove odors. Air filters should be changed every 90 days. I put in an event in my phone calendar. This helps me stay on schedule. I believe that you get what you pay for. Air filters are no different. You can find a wide range in price when it comes to air filters. I stay on the higher end, when I buy my air filers.
Changing your air filters are a must, dirty air filters is the number one reason for HVAC system failure. If you stay up to date with your air filters your HVAC system will last longer. A dirty air filter makes your fan motor work harder and consume more energy. If you want to reduce your energy bill replace your air filters every three months.
Don’t let not changing out a $20 air filter cause you to pay up to $10,000 for a new HVAC. Do the small things right, that way you don’t have to do big things later. When looking to buy a house make sure to check the air filters, this will tell you a lot about the seller.
What brand of air filter do you use and why?
