Is Your Furnace Working Harder Than It Should?
When it comes to maintaining a comfortable home during Calgary’s chilly winters, your furnace is your best friend. But did you know that something as simple as a dirty air filter could be forcing your heating system to work overtime?
At ClearView Services Plumbing & Heating, we’ve seen firsthand how neglecting this small component can lead to big problems. Let’s explore why clean air filters are crucial for optimal furnace performance:
The Impact of Dirty Air Filters
- Reduced Airflow: A clogged filter restricts airflow, making your furnace work harder to circulate warm air
- Increased Energy Consumption: When your system struggles, it uses more energy, leading to higher utility bills
- Decreased Indoor Air Quality: Dirty filters can’t effectively trap dust and allergens, potentially affecting your health
- Shortened Furnace Lifespan: The extra strain can cause premature wear and tear on your heating system
How Often Should You Change Your Air Filter?
The frequency of air filter changes depends on various factors, including:
- Filter type (disposable vs. reusable)
- Home occupancy
- Presence of pets
- Local air quality
As a general rule, most homeowners in Calgary and Chestermere should aim to change their filters every 1-3 months. However, during peak heating season, more frequent changes might be necessary.
