As the weather cools down, are you considering turning on your oil furnace or air conditioner. Before you do, you may want to consider replacing your old air filter with an up-to-date HEPA filter. Designed to remove 99.97% of airborne particles, HEPA filters are an excellent choice for folks with dust irritations or asthma! In addition, HEPA filters can help to improve the air quality in your home & reduce your energy costs. If you have an electric heating or cooling system, a HEPA filter can also help to extend its lifespan by preventing dust & dirt from build-up. It also helps a lot keeping the unit clean if you suffer from dust irritations like I do. I’ve had nights where I couldn’t stop sneezing and I had to get out of bed to clean my filter in the middle of the night. It isn’t fun work to begin with, and imagine doing it at 4 a.m. when you just went to bed shortly before. After that night, I will never go back to a normal filter again for our HVAC program. With so many benefits, it’s no wonder HEPA filters are becoming increasingly popular, so if it’s time for an up-to-date air filter, be sure to choose a HEPA filter for your home. You and your family will be glad you did, and you will save a lot of money on tissues from not having to blow your nose constantly. Just imagine the HEPA filter as a Kleenex for your HVAC system.
