How Often Should You Change Your Furnace Air Filter?
It may not seem like it, but checking and changing the air filter on your furnace are two of the most important maintenance tasks in your whole home comfort routine.
A clogged air filter makes your furnace work harder than it should to keep you warm in your New Jersey or Staten Island home, and that overwork will cost you in several ways:
- It will raise your energy bills – A clogged filter could raise your energy bills by 20 percent or more.
- You’ll get inconsistent temperatures – A clogged filter will also contribute to inconsistent airflow, which will lead to hot and cold spots in your home.
- You’ll need more repairs – Overwork will eventually wear out parts that you’ll need to replace or repair.
- Your equipment won’t last as long – Consistent overwork could eventually wear down your compressor, robbing you of years of service for your system.
The good news is that avoiding many of these problems is relatively easy: check your air filter every month, changing it a minimum of once per season – more if:
- You have furry pets.
- You smoke.
- Your system uses filters with a MERV rating of more than 12 (not common in most homes).
