We love our pets.
Our furnaces?
Not quite as much.
All that fur and dander that makes your home feel like home eventually ends up somewhere - and your HVAC filter catches a lot of it.
When a filter becomes excessively dirty, it can restrict airflow.
And restricted airflow makes your HVAC system work harder than it should.
Over time, poor airflow can contribute to problems involving components such as the blower motor and heat exchanger, and it can also affect your air conditioner's performance.
So how often should you change your filter?
It depends on the filter, your home, and your indoor environment, but here's a useful starting point:
1-inch filter:
Generally every
1–3 months
4-inch filter:
Often every
6–12 month
Air purifier/filter:
Around once a year depending on the system.
And here's where your furry family members come in.
More pets can mean more frequent filter changes.
So can allergies, construction or remodeling, smoking, dust, and other indoor-air conditions.
The easiest way to know? Check your filter. If it looks heavily loaded with dust, fur, and debris, don't wait for the calendar to tell you it's time.
Your HVAC system has to breathe, too 🙂
