Don’t Forget Your Air Filter!

One of the easiest ways to keep your HVAC system running efficiently is also one of the most commonly forgotten—changing your air filter. Your filter’s job is to catch dust, pollen, pet dander, and other airborne particles before they circulate through your home. Over time, that filter fills up, restricting airflow and forcing your system to work harder than it should.

When a filter is dirty or clogged, you may notice higher energy bills, uneven temperatures, poor airflow, or more dust around your home. Even worse, restricted airflow can lead to unnecessary wear on your system and increase the risk of breakdowns during the hottest or coldest days of the year.

For most homes, filters should be changed every 1–3 months, depending on factors like pets, allergies, and system usage. A clean filter helps improve indoor air quality, keeps your system running more efficiently, and can extend the life of your HVAC equipment.

Tech Tip Tuesday takeaway: A clean filter equals better comfort, cleaner air, and lower energy costs. Set a reminder today—your system (and your wallet) will thank you!
