Want Better Indoor Air?
What a silly question. Of course you do. The task may seem daunting but in actuality it might be quite simple. Not only that but taking rather simple steps could very well also save you money. We are always up for saving a little money.
So here are a few benefits of simply changing the air filters in you HVAC system regularly that I picked up from http://www.ajperri.com/blog/article/importance_of_changing_your_air_filter/:
- Healthier indoor air. An air filter’s job is to keep the air in your home clean. Filters are designed to accumulate dusts, molds, pollens and other contaminants, which can worsen allergies and can cause diseases. By changing out your filter on a regular basis you insure that you are not re-circulating dust, molds, pollens and other contaminants back through your system and into your home.
- Increase efficiency & save money. A dirty filter will slow down air flow and make your system work harder to keep you warm or cool — wasting energy and decreasing the efficiency of your system. When your system is not working as efficiently as it should, it is using more energy and that means you will be paying more to heat or cool your home.
- Increase longevity of your heating & cooling system. An air filter’s job is also to keep the interior of your heating and cooling system clean. According to Energy Star, a joint venture of the EPA and US Dept. of Energy, “Dirt and neglect are the #1 causes of heating and cooling system failure.” A clean filter will prevent dust and dirt from building up in the system — leading to expensive maintenance and/or early system failure. Environmentally conscious. When filters aren’t clean, it makes your system work harder to give you cooler (or warmer) air. This means more energy is used and wasted energy means more pollution. The more electricity you consume, the more carbon dioxide and other green house gases are released in the air.
