Your HVAC filter plays a vital role in maintaining the air quality and efficiency of your heating and cooling system. It traps dust, allergens, and other particles, keeping the air you breathe clean and protecting your HVAC system from damage. However, neglecting to change your filter regularly can lead to poor indoor air quality, increased energy bills, and potential damage to your HVAC system.
When the filter becomes clogged with debris, your HVAC system has to work harder to push air through, leading to higher energy consumption. This not only decreases efficiency but also puts unnecessary strain on your system, shortening its lifespan and increasing the risk of costly repairs.
So, how often should you change your HVAC filter? It depends on several factors, including the type of filter, your home’s air quality, and whether you have pets or suffer from allergies. Generally, most filters should be replaced every 1 to 3 months. If you have pets or allergies, you may need to change it more frequently to ensure optimal air quality.
