The Silent Culprit: How Dirty Air Filters Affect Your HVAC System
Is Your HVAC System Working Harder Than It Should?
At Four Suns Heating & Cooling, we often encounter a common issue that many homeowners overlook: dirty air filters. This seemingly minor component can have a significant impact on your HVAC system’s performance and efficiency.
The Importance of Clean Air Filters
Air filters play a crucial role in your HVAC system by:
- Trapping dust, pollen, and other airborne particles
- Improving indoor air quality
- Protecting your HVAC equipment from debris
The Consequences of Neglect
When air filters become clogged with dirt and debris, several issues can arise:
1. Reduced airflow
2. Decreased energy efficiency
3. Increased wear and tear on system components
4. Higher energy bills
How Often Should You Change Your Air Filter?
The frequency of air filter changes depends on various factors, including:
– Type of filter
– Household size
– Presence of pets
– Local air quality
As a general rule, we recommend checking your air filter monthly and replacing it at least every 90 days.
