Air Filter Replacement in Baldwin County

When was the last time you replaced the air filter in your heating and cooling system? Your air filter is one of the single most important parts of your HVAC equipment, and yet it’s a part that the overwhelming majority of people don’t pay nearly enough attention to. These small and simple parts are extremely easy to replace, require no additional tools or skills, and generally cost just a few dollars each. This means replacing your air filter is both one of the easiest and most affordable maintenance tasks to complete anywhere in your home.

What Happens With a Dirty Air Filter?

A good air filter greatly improves your indoor air quality by removing dust, pollen, pathogens, and other airborne debris that you’re breathing without even realizing it. However, a dirty air filter restricts airflow through your HVAC system. This reduces efficiency and causes added wear and tear that contribute to additional breakdowns, premature replacement, and plenty of other problems. Dirty air filters are also more likely to allow strained debris to slip through, which then reduces your indoor air quality as it’s circulated around your home.

Do you suffer from seasonal allergies, asthma, or other respiratory conditions? You can usually tell right away when the air in your home is poor-quality. You’ll start to suffer from sneezing, coughing, watery eyes, difficulty breathing, and even asthma attacks or other serious health problems. With so much at risk, why wouldn’t you make the effort to keep your air filter clean?

Air filters remove all of the following from your air:

• Pet dander
• Airborne germs like bacteria & viruses
• Dust mites
• Hair
• Pollen
• Odor particles
• Smoke
• Dirt

How Often Should I Replace My Air Filter?

One of the reasons why people don’t replace their air filter often enough is they simply don’t know how often they should replace it to begin with. With air filters being an “out-of-sight, out-of-mind” thing, it’s easy to forget about this important part for months or even years at a time. If you want to start taking better care of your air and make it easier to breathe in your home, set yourself a reminder to check the filter every month. It can be the same day every month or however you’d like to do it, but you should at least check your filter’s condition once per month.

Generally, the average home will need to replace their filter roughly every two to three months. Homes with factors that contribute to added air filter wear will need to replace their filter more often. This includes things like homes with pets, indoor smoking, lots of strong cooking odors, keeping doors and windows open often, and homes with a lot of people living under the same roof. Those who run their HVAC system frequently or leave the fan running even when the system is not on will also need to change their filter often. Those who have few to none of these factors will be able to go significantly longer, including up to three months or more before changing the filter.
