Air filters, which are most often constructed out of spun fiberglass, are used to clean and filter air before it is circulated throughout your heating and cooling system. This is done by trapping and containing airborne particles and contaminants such as mold spores, pet dander, dust, pollen, and more. Over time, the air filter being used in your HVAC system will become clogged with all of the debris it has collected, restricting the airflow coming through your home, leading to inefficiencies in your cooling and heating system. Additionally, your filter may be unable to trap contaminants at this point, negatively impacting your air quality.
Inefficiencies in your air conditioning system caused by dirty and clogged filters can lead to a shortened lifespan for your unit as well as higher electrical usage. According to the Department of Energy, running your heating and cooling system with a clogged air filter can cause you to use 5 to 15 percent more energy than you would use if your air filter was clean. With up to half of your monthly electric bill coming from your air conditioning system, this can add up quickly.
How Often Should I Change My Air Filter?
When it comes to keeping your system operating efficiently and your air quality high, you will want to change your filter seasonally. This means a new air filter every three months. However, if you live in a home with pets, are experiencing higher than average pollen, or have other circumstances that impact your air quality, you may need to change your filter more regularly. The best thing you can do is check your air filter regularly to ensure it is not clogged.
