The Purpose of a Filter for the System

The air filter serves an important purpose. It helps to collect any dirt, dust, or other pollutants that are in the air of your home. Over time, the filter will start to be clogged with all of these. Changing the filter will then need to be done in order to keep the air in your home at the best quality possible. The filter should be inspected on a regular basis to ensure it is free from any build up and still able to be efficient. When it is recommended or the filter becomes clogged and dirty, it should be replaced. It is also important to remember not to operate the HVAC unit if there is not a filter in there. This allows dust and dirt to get to the interior and smaller parts of the unit. It will cause the unit to wear down quicker and parts will need to be replaced sooner than they typically should.

Signs of a Poor Filter

If you start to notice some signs that the HVAC unit is operating poorly, it could mean that the filter should be inspected and replaced. If the system makes odd sounds or noises like a loud humming, make sure to contact us. This could mean that the system is causing strain on the parts in order to get air through it. When the filter becomes clogged, the air cannot travel through it as easily. If you notice that the monthly energy bills are increasing, it can be an indication that the system is not working efficiently. No matter what the issue is, it recommended that you call us. This way we can inspect the system to ensure it is in the best condition possible, and operating at top performance levels.

Improving the Air Quality

A filter is also beneficial because it will also help to improve the air quality in your home. This is because it will capture the dust and pollutants that are in the air. It will then help prevent these pollutants from being distributed throughout your home again. This will help to make your home pleasant and comfortable to be in. It will also improve the overall health and breathing of you and your family.
