Appreciate your air filter
In the state of New Jersey most residents don’t change air filters every 1 to 3 months as recommended by Expert Duct Cleaning and Department of energy. Many residents and business owners mistakably wait for cold or hot season to change filters thus endangering indoor air quality and equipment life. Here is why your HVAC air filters need to be changed every 1-3 months (depending on the system usage):
Keep high indoor air quality
Your Indoor air quality (IAQ) will always be lower than outdoors. According to Environmental Protection Agency, our indoor air can be 2 to 5 times as toxic as outdoor air. This makes sense because Americans spend 90% of the time indoors, National Center for Biotechnology Information says. Indoor pollutants can cause or worsen numerous respiratory ilnesses and asthma. It is highly recommended to change HVAC air filters regularly to reduce the amount of these pollutants and enjoy healthier life.
Increase your system efficiency
Clogged air filter reduces the amount of air that can pass through and can cause many problems. Your system will need to work harder to get the air delivered to your indoor space though supply vents. This causes much stress for the air handler and eventually may lead to equipment failure. Dirty air filter will also greatly reduce the airflow of the system and it will take much longer to reach desired temperatures. Changing air filters every 1-3 months will keep high airflow and remove extra stress from mechanical components.
Saves money
You may think that changing air filters is an expense and should be done less often. In the long run, despite spending money on new air filters more often, it more cost efficient to do so. With clean air filters the airflow of the system is optimal and it doesn’t have to work as hard to keep desired indoor temperatures. This saves money on energy consumption. Your HVAC unit will quickly cool/heat your home/office and turn off. While HVAC with clogged filter will keep running under high stress to get same results. Less stress on the system greatly extends equipment life and prevents costly repairs.
