As the chill of fall starts to seep into the air, it’s time to think about your home’s comfort. One simple yet crucial task that will help maintain your HVAC’s performance is regularly replacing your air filters. In this post, a ductless split systems expert discusses why replacing air filters this fall is a smart choice for you and your HVAC system.
Your HVAC system is like the lungs of your home, and its air filter serves as a protective barrier. It catches dust, mold spores, pet dander and other harmful contaminants in your home’s air. When these filters get clogged, they fail to do their job. As a result, your HVAC system works harder, efficiency decreases and your indoor air quality drops.
Replacing your air filters this fall comes with several advantages. Let’s look at a few of the most important ones.
Lower Energy Bills: When filters get clogged, your HVAC system has to work harder to provide the desired temperature. This increase in energy usage translates to higher bills. Replacing your air filters in the fall ensures that your system runs smoothly and efficiently.
Enhanced Furnace Performance: In the fall, you start relying on your furnace for warmth. Dirty filters make it difficult for your furnace to do its job. They can even prevent it from working at all. Replacing your air filters in the fall helps your furnace perform more efficiently and make the most of the cold season.
Improved Indoor Air Quality: Indoor air quality is important for your health and well-being. Clean filters increase oxygen flow and reduce dust buildup to keep your home’s air fresh and clean. In return, you and your family are safe from the risks of allergies and other illnesses.
