9/8/2021 (Permalink)

It’s that time of year! Fall is right around the corner and when the temperature drops the furnace comes on.

Before you turn your furnace on for the first time, there is one thing you should do, change the furnace filter. It is recommended that furnace filters get changed once every three months, or every month if you have a pet.   

Changing the furnace filters has a lot of advantages. By changing the furnace filters on a regular schedule. You can extend the life of your HVAC system, lower your energy bill, and maintain a healthier air quality in your home.  

 How can changing your furnace filters do all this?   

• By changing your furnace filters. Your HVAC system does not have to work so hard to produce the same results. This helps raise the longevity of your system.
• It also uses less energy this way, thus lowering your energy bill.
• Finally changing the furnace filters on a regular schedule helps maintain a healthier air quality within your home.  

This is because when you have clean air filters, allergens such as dust and pet dandruff will not get recirculated into your home through your HVAC system. Built up allergens can linger for months even after the old filter has been replaced. Allergens can cause health effects.
