When to clean the a/c filter

This week my pal and I are talking about the topic of clean & fresh air.

Nobody enjoys to live in a household filled with dust & pollen because it can cause a lot of health troubles & dust sensitivities.

Sneezing & coughing a lot in the household are good signs that you need to clean the air in your dwelling. Dirty air is not only terrible for dust sensitivities however it is also terrible for your health in general. It is better to err on the safe side when it comes to the air in your home, so keep it clean. Cleaning or replacing the air filter in your household HVAC system is a straight-forward yet important job for maintaining good indoor air quality & maximizing the efficiency of your system. A dirty air filter can restrict air flow, causing your boiler to work harder & increase energy consumption, leading to higher bills & potential system breakdowns. Here are the steps for cleaning or replacing your air filter: Locate the air filter: It’s usually located near the indoor machine or in the return HVAC duct. Remove the old filter: Release the filter frame or door & take out the old filter. Clean or update the filter: If it’s a reusable filter, clean it with water & let it air dry completely before reinserting. If it’s a disposable filter, update it with a modern one of the same size. Reinstall the filter: Make sure it’s securely in place & the frame or door is closed. It’s advocated to check & update the air filter every three months or as needed. Regular maintenance of your HVAC system, including cleaning the air filter, can extend its lifespan & keep your indoor air clean & healthy.
