#1
Dirty air filters are the #1 reason for HVAC system failures. Having a dirty air filter limits the airflow that goes into your HVAC system. That additional pressure can potentially burn out the motor over time, causing your system to overheat and crash.
#2
Dirty and clogged air filters lead to poor air quality, which can worsen serious health problems like asthma, cold and flu, and other respiratory conditions.
#3
Dust and other particles clogging up your air filter can result in reduced airflow and an increase in your energy usage which will end up costing you more money.
#4
Dirty air filters can spread unwanted particles into air ducts, and heating and air-conditioning systems. This can also add to a costly expense for getting the HVAC system cleaned or even result in needing to get the whole unit replaced.
#5
Dirty air filters create an extra layer for any mold or bacteria to grow on. If the filters aren’t changed for a long period, the mold or bacteria can begin releasing allergens throughout the building.
