As spring approaches, it's essential to address your HVAC or AC unit filters to ensure optimal air quality and efficiency. Dust and particles can accumulate during winter, making it crucial to replace dirty filters before the warmer months. Experts suggest changing filters every 60 to 90 days, or more frequently if pets are present. Failure to do so can result in stale air and increased energy consumption, leading to higher utility costs. Prioritizing HVAC maintenance during spring cleaning can greatly enhance comfort and air quality at home.
As you start to rid your home of the stale indoor air and residual dust that's collected during all the colder months spent inside, you should expedite this refresh process by crossing off one ultra-important task off your spring-cleaning checklist that you might not have thought of.
There's nothing worse than blasting stale air through an HVAC system or AC unit that's not been used in a year, if you live in a location that only needs AC seasonally.
Melanie Powers, president at Goodberlet Home Services, previously told Apartment Therapy that in general, you should be changing your HVAC filter once every 60 to 90 days.
In addition to experiencing unhealthy indoor air quality with a dirty HVAC filter, you might also end up paying a lot more to blast your AC when it gets warm.
