As the temperatures begin to rise, it's more important than ever for your home's interior temperature to be regulated. Regular maintenance of your home HVAC system is essential. Not only does it ensure your equipment functions optimally through the winter and summer months, but it can also put off more serious repairs and even replacement by increasing the lifespan of your heating and cooling unit. Here are a few more benefits you can expect from regular replacements.

Why Is It Important to Change My HVAC Filter?

1. Improve Indoor Air Quality

Any dust or other allergens trapped in your air ducts will get blown around your home, along with the warm or cold air coming out of your HVAC system. Air filters trap these particles, but if the filter becomes too clogged, it will no longer be able to capture airborne particles effectively. When indoor air quality is poor, people with allergies and asthma may experience worsening symptoms. 

2. Enhance Performance

Dirty air filters prevent air from flowing freely through ducts. That makes your heating and cooling equipment have to work even harder to produce the same output. You'll also notice your energy bills increasing, even though you're not using your equipment any differently. Replacing the air filter will have an immediate impact on performance and will reduce your energy bills if you keep up on replacing them every few months. 

3. Decrease Utility Costs

The harder HVAC equipment works, the sooner it will break down. Clogged filters are known to burn out other components, such as blowers, and these repair costs can be avoided with routine maintenance. Over time, the entire unit will suffer from this wear and tear, which means that you will need to replace the equipment much sooner than you expected.
