The Overlooked Component of Your HVAC System
When it comes to maintaining your home’s comfort, the air filter in your HVAC system plays a crucial role that’s often overlooked. At Paradigm Plumbing, Heating & AC, we’ve seen firsthand how this small component can make a big difference in your system’s performance and energy efficiency.
Why Air Filters Matter
Air filters serve two primary purposes:
- Improving indoor air quality by trapping dust, pollen, and other particles
- Protecting your HVAC system from debris that could damage internal components
When these filters become clogged, they can lead to a host of problems for your heating and cooling system.
The Impact of Dirty Air Filters
Neglecting to change your air filter regularly can result in:
- Reduced airflow, making your system work harder
- Increased energy consumption and higher utility bills
- Potential system overheating and premature wear
- Decreased indoor air quality
How Often Should You Change Your Filter?
The frequency of air filter changes depends on various factors, including:
- Type of filter
- Household size
- Presence of pets
- Local air quality
As a general rule, most homeowners in the Hooksett, Manchester, and Concord areas should aim to change their filters every 1-3 months.
