The Hidden Benefits of Regular Air Filter Replacements
Why Air Filters Matter More Than You Think
At Milwaukie Heating & Cooling, we often emphasize the importance of regular maintenance for your HVAC system. One crucial aspect that homeowners frequently overlook is the simple task of replacing air filters. This small act can have a significant impact on your home’s comfort, energy efficiency, and air quality.
Key Benefits of Timely Air Filter Replacements:
- Improved Air Quality: Clean filters trap more pollutants, allergens, and dust particles.
- Enhanced Energy Efficiency: A clean filter allows better airflow, reducing strain on your system.
- Extended Equipment Lifespan: Less stress on your HVAC system means fewer repairs and longer life.
- Lower Energy Bills: An efficiently running system consumes less energy, saving you money.
How Often Should You Replace Your Air Filter?
The frequency of replacement depends on various factors, including:
1. Type of filter
2. Household size
3. Presence of pets
4. Local air quality
For most homes in Clackamas, Happy Valley, West Linn, Lake Oswego, and Oregon City, we recommend checking your filter monthly and replacing it every 1-3 months.
