WHAT CAN HAPPEN IF YOU DON'T CHANGE YOUR FILTER ON A REGULAR BASIS?
A blocked filter makes your HVAC system pull harder to circulate air, increasing energy usage by 5% to 15%.
Instead of trapping dust, pollen, pet dander, and mold spores, a saturated filter allows these particles to bypass the barrier or recirculate through your home. This can trigger allergies, asthma flare-ups, and respiratory irritation. 🤧
Restricted airflow starves the blower motor, causing it to overheat, short-cycle (turn on and off repeatedly), or burn out completely.
Neglecting a filter can result in major component failures—such as a ruined blower motor or a frozen system—leading to repair or full replacement costs ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars 💸
