Heating and Cooling

Many homeowners pay very little attention to their air filters during the summer. Perhaps because we think of summer as lasting only a few months, however it does not take very long for a filter to become dirty or clogged. Changing the filter on a monthly basis is beneficial not only because it will reduce the allergens such as pollen and dust within your home.

Another significant benefit is that a clean air filter will keep air flow constant whereas, a dirty air filter will reduce air flow and make your air conditioner work harder to bring down the temperature in your home. The result will be higher energy bills as your dirty air filter will force your system to become less efficient every day. Check filters regularly so that you can gauge the proper time to replace a dirty filter with a clean one. Your home will be cooler, have cleaner air and your energy bills from running your air conditioner won’t shock you.

At Four Seasons Heating & Air Conditioning we see many units that suffer from excessive build up of dust and dirt that reduce not only the efficiency of the air conditioning and furnace system but also affect the longevity of the system. That is why regular maintenance and homeowners that pay regular attention to their systems will benefit most from their investment.
