The Importance of Changing your Furnace Air Filter

3 Reasons to Change your Furnace Air Filter Today!

1.       Saves Money

A clogged air filter can cause your furnace to work harder, which increases your energy usage. Replacing your air filter regularly means that fan motors don’t have to work as hard. According to the Department of Energy, heating and cooling account for almost half of the average home’s utility bills! So, stop blowing money and reduce your energy cost with a new filter.

 

2.       Extends your Furnace’s life

Build-up on filters caused by dirt, dog hair, and animal dander doesn’t allow air to pass through easily. When this happens, the systems work harder. Overtime, an overworked system can cause overheating which can result in real damage and costly repairs or replacement. Give longevity to the life of your furnace with a new filter.

3.       Your Health

Clean air is healthy air. Changing your air filter regularly will prevent dust, dirt, allergens, and mold spores from building up in the air in your home. Poor air quality can lead to symptoms like sneezing, eye irritation and other respiratory problems and can significantly impact those with asthma and allergies. Changing your filter is a very simple way to keep your indoor air clean.
