Top Cause of Service Calls

If there was one thing our staff here at Forced Aire Heating and Air Conditioning would like to stress, it would be to change your air filter on a frequent basis. Changing the air filter of your home is essential in making sure that your system is running smoothly. A dirty system is the #1 cause for our service calls. The dirty air filter stops the flow of air in your HVAC system and causes additional strain on the motor which can lead to a burnt out motor and system failure that is costly. Replacing your filter regularly is a small price compared to fixing the whole system. When your air filter is dirty, it also lowers the efficiency of your system because it has to work harder to push air through. Reducing your energy bill is easy by simply replacing your air filter frequently. Obviously, the dirtier your air filter is, the dirtier the air in your home is. Changing your air filter will not only reduce costs, but provide a healthier environment for your family or employees.

When does an Air Filter Need Changed?

Now for the actual questions, when should you change your air filter? Replacement varies from building to building and home to home. If there is pet dander or lots of dust, the replacement might be more frequent. Forced Aire Heating and Air Conditioning suggests changing it every two to three months. This time frame will ensure clean air and an efficient HVAC system. If it tends to look extremely dirty when you change it every two to three months, consider moving that date up a bit, to approximately every month.
