Improve Your Health

Did you know that the average home has 18 different pollutants in the air? That's right – toxic chemicals, dust mites, mold, and bacteria are just some of the things that can seep into your house while you go about your day-to-day life. Air filters have been proven to help reduce these chemicals in indoor air so that you can breathe more easily. Not only do they help with allergies, but also other respiratory diseases like asthma and COPD.

Improve Indoor Air Quality

The right air filter can make all the difference in ensuring your indoor air is the cleanest it can be. They help to remove airborne pollutants before they have a chance to settle on surfaces or circulate throughout your home. Dust, pollen, pet dander, smoke particles, and even some bacteria are too small to see with the naked eye, but they can negatively impact your health if exposed to them too often. An air filter can trap these types of particles before they get into your body or cause damage to objects in your house.

Reduce Allergens in Your Home

Does someone in your household suffer from allergies? You might think that your vacuum can pick up most of the dust and debris that accumulates around your home, but that isn't the case. Airborne particles will get into the tiniest of spaces, like seams in furniture and even between walls and floorboards. Since filters remove common allergens from your air supply, they are critical in limiting symptoms for those who are susceptible to issues. 

Save Money

Air filters help reduce energy costs as well as clean the air in your home and make it easier for your heating and cooling system to do its job. Air filters also reduce the amount of air that needs to circulate through your system and helps prevent dust from settling on your electronics, equipment, and appliances. This can lead to fewer repairs and part replacements over time. 

Prevent Damage to Your Heating and Cooling System

Another benefit of having an air filter is that it prevents heating and cooling system damage.

How often should you change the air filter? The answer depends on many factors, including the kind of HVAC system installed, the amount of square footage, local climate conditions, and whether or not you have pets. For most households, the recommended frequency of a filter replacement is once every 90 days.
