It’s recommended to change your air filter every 1-3 months, depending on how frequently you use your furnace and the type of filter you have. Just remember, A CLEAN FILTER MEANS A HAPPY FURNACE!
There are several signs that indicate you may need to replace your furnace filter:
1. Increased energy bills: If your heating system is working harder than usual to heat your home, it could be a sign that the filter is clogged and restricting airflow.
2. Reduced airflow: If you notice that there is less air coming out of the vents, it could be due to a dirty filter blocking airflow.
3. Excessive dust: If you see dust accumulating around the vents or on surfaces in your home, it could be a sign that the filter is not capturing dust and particles effectively.
4. Allergies or respiratory issues: If you or your family members are experiencing more allergy symptoms or respiratory issues, it could be because the filter is not removing allergens and pollutants from the air.
5. Strange odors: If you notice musty or strange odors coming from your vents, it could be a sign that the filter needs to be replaced.
It is recommended to check your furnace filter regularly and replace it every 1-3 months, depending on the type of filter and your household’s needs.
Allergy symptoms: If you or your family members experience increased allergy symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, or watery eyes, it could be due to a dirty filter not effectively capturing allergens.
For households with pets and allergies, it is recommended to use high-efficiency filters that have a MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) rating of 9 or higher. HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters are also a good option as they can capture smaller particles like pet dander and allergens. These filters are designed to trap more airborne particles, leading to cleaner air and improved indoor air quality. Make sure to check the manufacturer’s recommendations for the specific type of filter that is compatible with your furnace.
Well, well, well, if you neglect to change your house filter regularly, you’re in for a wild ride! Picture this: debris like dust, mold spores, and allergens.
If the filter is too full, it can allow this debris to spread throughout your home, which can worsen allergies or respiratory symptoms.
Higher energy bills: When your filter is clogged, your HVAC system has to work harder to distribute heat or air, which can increase your energy bills.
Uneven heating and cooling: A clogged filter can cause uneven heating and cooling in your home.
Furnace shutting down: A clogged filter can cause your furnace to shut down.
Premature wear or damage to the heat exchanger: A clogged filter can cause premature wear or damage to the heat exchanger.
