When was the last time you changed your HVAC filter? If you can’t remember, it’s probably time! Replacing your air filters regularly is essential for maintaining your home’s air quality and keeping your heating and cooling system running efficiently. But instead of adding one more chore to your to-do list, why not let the experts at Chapman Air & Heat handle it for you? With their annual maintenance plan, you can ensure your system is properly tuned, cleaned, and optimized year-round.
Why Changing Your Air Filter Matters
Your HVAC system’s air filter plays a crucial role in trapping dust, pollen, pet dander, and other airborne particles. When filters get clogged, they restrict airflow, forcing your system to work harder and reducing its efficiency. This can lead to:
- Higher energy bills
- Poor indoor air quality
- Increased wear and tear on your HVAC system
- More frequent and costly repairs
To avoid these issues, filters should typically be replaced every 1-3 months, depending on usage and the type of filter you use.
Choosing the Right Air Filter for Clean Air
Not all air filters are created equal. Understanding the different types available can help you select the best option for your home and health needs.
- Fiberglass Filters – These are the most affordable but offer minimal filtration. They help protect your HVAC system but do little to improve air quality.
- Pleated Filters – Made from polyester or cotton folds, these filters capture more dust and allergens than fiberglass options and are a good mid-range choice.
- HEPA Filters – High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters are the gold standard for air purification, capturing up to 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. These are excellent for allergy sufferers.
- Electrostatic Filters – These self-charging filters attract airborne particles using static electricity and are reusable, making them an eco-friendly choice.
- Activated Carbon Filters – Ideal for homes with pets or smokers, these filters remove odors in addition to trapping dust and allergens.
For the best indoor air quality, HEPA and pleated filters are highly recommended. However, the right choice depends on your specific needs, HVAC system compatibility, and budget.
