Why Filter Replacement Matters
- Improved air quality: Clean filters trap dust, pollen, pet dander, and other airborne particles before they circulate through your home.
- Better system efficiency: A clogged filter forces your furnace or AC to work harder, using more energy.
- Longer equipment life: Clean airflow reduces strain on your blower motor, heat exchanger, and other components.
- Lower energy bills: A clean filter can reduce energy consumption by 5–15%.
- Fewer repairs: Restricted airflow from dirty filters is a leading cause of HVAC breakdowns.
How Often to Replace Your Filter
- Standard 1-inch filters: Replace every 1–3 months.
- 4-inch media filters: Replace every 6–12 months.
- Homes with pets: Replace more frequently to manage pet dander and hair.
- Allergy sufferers: More frequent replacement helps maintain air quality.
- During heavy use seasons: Check monthly during peak heating and cooling seasons in Orem.
Choosing the Right Filter
Filters are rated by MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value). Higher MERV ratings capture smaller particles but can restrict airflow if your system isn't designed for them. Our technicians can recommend the optimal filter rating for your specific HVAC system.
