procrastination

So, procrastination is one of those ugly words some of us deal with a lot.  It creeps up in the most inconvenient places.  Usually the consequences of procrastination are not desirable.  It is true, as well, in the area of indoor air quality.  The procrastination I’m referring to here is in regards to checking and/or changing the filters on our HVAC systems.    When we use the infamous words “I’ll get to it later” we are quite possibly damaging the system and perhaps even putting our health at risk.  Obviously we wouldn’t purposely do those things but procrastination may just let them happen.  

Some of the less than desirable effects of not regularly checking and/or changing the filters and allowing them to become exceptionally dirty are as follows:

• Restrict the airflow in your system. This may result in the equipment overheating and shutting down, which can damage components and require expensive repairs.
• Poor airflow also means less air moving through your home, reducing your comfort level, and making your system work harder to compensate which can increase  your energy bills.
• Allow dust to enter the system and build up on essential components like the coils, fan, motor and heat exchanger. This again affects the efficiency of the system and even possible repairs or replacement.
• Allow dust, pollen, mold spores etc. into your home.  These can wreak havoc on those with allergies, asthma and COPD.  Not to mention make it necessary to dust more.

None of these sound like good things to me.  So let’s do our very best not to let the dreaded “procrastination disease” get to our HVAC systems or our indoor air quality.  Be diligent about checking and/or changing those filters monthly.  And, if your air ducts haven’t ever been cleaned or not in the last five years or so, give us a call  or visit our site and we’ll help you take care of that as well.
