Bartlett Heating and Air Talks Explains Why You Should Change Filter Regularly

Homeowners may not know, but you are supposed to change your HVAC filter each month. People either forget to change them because it is not on their mind or because they don’t feel like its important to do. Failing to change your filters can have consequences. There are a few good reasons to change your filter in the HVAC system each month, here’s a list of them. The first reason to change your filter is because of potential airflow issues. When your filter gets clogged it reduces airflow and will make the fan motor struggle and work harder. This can cause early wear and tear on your system and it will raise your energy bills. This can also cause your fan to overheat and burnout. Another reason to change your air filter is because dirty ones allow dirt to buildup in the system. This can make your coil dirty which can cause it to freeze up and leave you without AC. Blocked airflow reduces the systems ability to cool. One last reason to change your filter is because you will have dirtier ducts and need to get them cleaned more often. The excess dirt will get blown through your ducts and sit inside until cleaned. This will also be circulating in your home. Changing your filter is something that needs to be done monthly so put a reminder in your phone so you don’t forget.
