December 13, 2016

Anticipatory maintenance is important in making sure your system is running smoothly. This goes beyond remembering your annual maintenance check, but also checking in on your air filter. Your air filter is vital for keeping your system operating well and refining your home’s indoor air quality. Because many of us will be spending more time indoors this season, there’s no better time to aim on refining your home’s indoor air quality. Exchanging out your air filter is an easy chore and there are lots of advantages to it such as:

Enhanced Indoor Air Quality
Air filters clean your air as it flows through your house by trapping dirt and debris. If you have a family member suffering from allergies or asthma, a quality air filter can do great things for their health. And if you have a pet, you know pet dander is a consistant battle. An efficient, clean air filter will help you breathe in better air.

Extend the Life and Efficiency of Your System
A dirty air filter is one of the primary sources for system breakdowns. When your air filter is filthy your system has to work harder to do its job, which will show on your utility costs and it can also force your unit to overheat. Preventative maintenance such as air filter replacement will aid in making sure that your system has an extended, efficient life.
