If they get clogged, these filters can cause serious airflow restrictions since they have higher minimum efficiency reporting values (MERV)
During the winter, you may not be aware that it is necessary to change the air filter in your HVAC system every month in order to avoid restricted airflow. Filters should be replaced monthly if debris has accumulated. There are several advantages to regularly changing the filters, including a longer lifespan, lower utility bills, better air quality, and fewer breakdowns that require repair. Your HVAC system can be prevented from experiencing unnecessary strain by keeping the filter clean. If you delay the purchase of a costly new piece of equipment, you may be able to avoid premature failure of the equipment. Due to the restricted airflow caused by not changing the filters, the HVAC system has to work harder to compensate. This results in a decline in the equipment’s efficiency and an increase in its energy consumption and utility bills. If you maintain a clean filter, you can reduce your monthly operating costs by five to fifteen percent. Your HVAC system should be inspected and changed regularly if it has an air cleaner. If they get clogged, these filters can cause serious airflow restrictions since they have higher minimum efficiency reporting values (MERV). If the air filter isn’t replaced often enough, debris can get into the HVAC system and collect on sensitive components, causing equipment breakdowns. Changing the filter regularly throughout the winter can help prevent inconvenience, discomfort, and the cost of repairing preventable damage.
