Why Your HVAC Filter Matters: How Often Should You Change It?

Why Your HVAC Filter Matters: How Often Should You Change It?

Your HVAC filter plays a vital role in maintaining the air quality and efficiency of your heating and cooling system. It traps dust, allergens, and other particles, keeping the air you breathe clean and protecting your HVAC system from damage. However, neglecting to change your filter regularly can lead to poor indoor air quality, increased energy bills, and potential damage to your HVAC system.

When the filter becomes clogged with debris, your HVAC system has to work harder to push air through, leading to higher energy consumption. This not only decreases efficiency but also puts unnecessary strain on your system, shortening its lifespan and increasing the risk of costly repairs.

So, how often should you change your HVAC filter? It depends on several factors, including the type of filter, your home’s air quality, and whether you have pets or suffer from allergies. Generally, most filters should be replaced every 1 to 3 months. If you have pets or allergies, you may need to change it more frequently to ensure optimal air quality.

At A Plus Quality, our professional and highly skilled team is here to help you with all your HVAC needs, including filter maintenance. We can recommend the right filter type for your home, show you how to replace it, and ensure your system is operating at peak efficiency.

FAQ

  • What is a heat pump?

    Heat pumps use electricity to move heat from a cool space to a warm space, making the cool space cooler and the warm space warmer. During the heating season, heat pumps move heat from the cool outdoors into your warm house and during the cooling season, heat pumps move heat from your cool house into the warm outdoors. Because they move heat rather than generate heat, heat pumps can provide equivalent space conditioning at as little as one quarter of the cost of operating conventional heating or cooling appliances.

  • Water is Leaking on my Furnace

    Water falling on to the furnace can harm your heating unit by affecting the control boards and other components enclosed in the furnace. There can be many causes to the water overflow, but the most common cases in the summer is the ice build up inside the evaporator coil due to low refrigerant level. Water build up can also be due to the evaporator coil having a crack on the base, if this is the case contact us by booking an appointment or call us today to have a technician come have a look at your unit and repair this issue before it causes excessive damage.  

  • What is a mini-split?

    By definition, and simply put, a “Split System” is a heating and air conditioning system which has two main components, the indoor unit and outdoor unit. In short, the indoor unit absorbs heat energy in the cooling mode, and the outdoor unit rejects the very heat absorbed by the indoor unit. And the cycle is repeated until the set temperature is met. Although the indoor and outdoor units are located in physically different, hence “split” locations, they are connected and operate as, one system; continuously circulating refrigerant liquid and vapor by means of interconnecting, dehydrated copper refrigerant lines, commonly referred to as a “Line Set”.
