The air filter in your HVAC system plays a vital roll in keep your house comfortable. It also helps to keep you and your HVAC system healthy. Here are three reasons to replace the air filters for your central heating and cooling systems in Tampa, FL, regularly:
The function of filters is to keep dust and other contaminants out of your HVAC system while allowing clean, conditioned air to circulate throughout the home. However, when dust accumulates, it creates friction that forces the whole system to work harder. That extra strain reduces the life of your HVAC system and causes it to break down faster.
Dirty, clogged air filters reduce the amount of air flowing through them so your heater and air conditioner have to work harder to just keep your home at the desired temperature. This inefficiency wastes energy and increases your utility bills.
Replacing your HVAC filters every one to three months keeps the air flowing smoothly and keeps the contaminants out. That helps you keep more money in your wallet every month.
Besides saving you money on utilities and reducing the frequency of your repair bills, clean filters also keep a lot of airborne contaminants and allergens from getting sucked into your air ducts and spreading throughout your home. If anyone in your home suffers from allergies or respiratory problems, failure to replace your filters as needed can have a very harmful impact on their health.
Don’t let dirty air filters wear out your central heating and cooling systems, increase your energy bills and allow indoor air pollution to impact your family’s health. Contact Strada Electric, Security & Air Conditioning to schedule annual maintenance for your HVAC system this fall.
