AC Filter Replacement
Improving Air Quality
On average, your HVAC system can last anywhere between 15 to 20 years of age. During that time, your HVAC unit works hard to keep your home nice and comfortable. You’ll also go through many filter changes on a month-to-month basis, depending on the model you have in your home. Our company, 888HVAC, specializes in routine AC filter replacements for the entire Santa Clarita, Calabasas, Simi Valley and other nearby communities. In this article, we’ll go over a few ins and outs of why timely filter replacements are essential to increase the lifespan and performance of your AC unit.
Why is AC Filter Replacement Important?
Depending on the manufacturer, you may need to replace your air filter once every month or once every three months. One of the reasons we strongly recommend regular filter replacement for your AC is because of better performance for your system. Remember that dirty air filters can become clogged with time. If this happens to your unit, a clogged and dirty air filter can cause an obstruction within the airflow. This will result in low airflow coming out of the vents. Moreover, your cooling unit could breakdown as it works harder to try and cool your home.
The Benefits of Regular AC Filter Replacement
The main benefit that you will get from an AC filter replacement is improved air quality. Rest assured that replacing your air filter will improve your quality of life in your own home. You’ll be able to breathe better, have a cleaner house and even find seasonal relief from allergies or sinus problems. You may find your HVAC or AC unit working better as it works to cool your home.
Dealing With a Dirty Air Filter
Without a filter replacement on a regular basis, dust will surely build up within the system, such as the vents. As the dust accumulates, it can circulate around the home. The dust can attract hair, pet dander, spores and other dangerous particles. Those who are particularly sensitive to allergens and pollutants will notice the difference right away. A dirty air filter can cause shortness of breath, coughing and sneezing, just to mention a few of the signs.
Energy Savings Makes a Difference
When you optimize your AC unit, it tends to work less as it cools your home. This is because the system has a smooth and clean setup where it can do its job properly. It doesn’t have to struggle if your air filter is dirty or clogged with dust. What else does this mean? Well, it also means that by spending less energy to cool your home, you’ll spend less money on your monthly utility bills. As with any type of energy savings, less energy used is also better for the environment. Remember to contact the 888HVAC company for all your maintenance services.
