The Importance of Clean Air Filters
Since 1949, Perry Heating, Cooling, and Plumbing has been the leading HVAC and plumbing company for Tucson, AZ and surrounding communities. Over the years, we’ve seen countless issues arise from one simple oversight: neglected air filters.
Many homeowners in Casas Adobes, Catalina Foothills, and Oro Valley underestimate the impact of a dirty air filter on their HVAC system’s performance. Let’s explore why maintaining clean air filters is crucial for your home’s comfort and your system’s longevity.
The Hidden Costs of Dirty Air Filters
1. Reduced Energy Efficiency: When air filters become clogged, your HVAC system has to work harder to circulate air, leading to increased energy consumption.
2. Poor Indoor Air Quality: Dirty filters can’t effectively trap contaminants, allowing allergens and dust to circulate throughout your home.
3. Increased Wear and Tear: The extra strain on your system can lead to more frequent breakdowns and shorter equipment lifespan.
4. Inconsistent Heating and Cooling: Restricted airflow can result in uneven temperature distribution throughout your home.
How Often Should You Change Your Air Filter?
The frequency of air filter changes depends on various factors, including:
– Type of filter
– Household size
– Presence of pets
– Local air quality
As a general rule, most homeowners should change their air filters every 1-3 months. However, during peak usage seasons in Tucson’s climate, more frequent changes may be necessary.
