Changing the air filter in your Heating/Air Conditioning system is easy, and it saves money. As this 1-minute video shows, you can waste a lot of energy and money with an inefficient HVAC system.
Many recommend changing the air filter every quarter, at a minimum. You may have circumstances that make more frequent filter replacement a good idea. Some examples:
- Homes with shedding pets
- Homes that have construction projects underway
- Brand-new homes with dust in the air
- Medical conditions such as asthma or allergies
It is also a very good idea to get the “Deluxe” filters. The cheap ones don’t do the job. You can also buy in bulk to save 15% from Amazon.com or get them from a local source, such as your community hardware store.
