Is Your HVAC System Working Harder Than It Should?
At Murphy’s, we often encounter homeowners who are unaware of the significant role that air filters play in their HVAC systems. While it may seem like a small component, a dirty air filter can lead to a cascade of issues affecting both your comfort and your wallet.
The Hidden Costs of Neglected Air Filters
When air filters become clogged with dust, pollen, and other particles, they restrict airflow through your HVAC system. This restriction forces your system to work harder to maintain the desired temperature, resulting in:
- Increased energy consumption
- Higher utility bills
- Reduced system lifespan
- Potential system breakdowns
The Benefits of Regular Filter Maintenance
By simply changing your air filter regularly, you can:
1. Improve indoor air quality
2. Enhance system efficiency
3. Extend the life of your HVAC equipment
4. Reduce the likelihood of costly repairs
How Often Should You Change Your Filter?
The frequency of filter changes depends on various factors, including:
– Type of filter
– Home size
– Number of occupants and pets
– Local air quality
As a general rule, most homeowners should check their filters monthly and replace them every 1-3 months.
