Why should I replace my filter regularly?

The air filter in your heating and cooling system exists to protect your equipment from large particles that can damage your unit. When a dirty air filter is not replaced, unnecessary strain is placed on the heater or air conditioner because the airflow becomes restricted. Also, a dirty filter increases the chances that harmful air pollutants will pass unhindered into your system and damage your equipment. We recommend you check your filter at least once a month and replace when visibly dirty.

Did you know?

Dirty air filters are the main reason air conditioners don't work as well as they should. Every time the air conditioner runs, it pulls air through its filter. The purpose of the filter is to catch impurities in the air. With those particles stuck to the filter the path for air gets blocked to a greater and greater degree, meaning there's less air through the air conditioner and thus less cooling. It also means the air conditioner works harder and uses more power.
