Advice from the Experts
'Tis
The Season To Change Your
Filters!
Changing
the filter in your HVAC
system is one of the least
expensive, easiest, and
yet one of the most important
things to do when it comes
to routine maintenance and
preservation of your system.
Changing of the filter should
happen once every 30 days,
ideally. Filters are relatively
inexpensive and can be found
in most stores that carry
home improvement items such
as Lowe’s, Home Depot,
Wal-Mart, etc.
While
the process of airflow through
your HVAC system is simple
enough to understand not
everybody has a clear understanding
and/or they just don’t
think about it. When your
system is running in the
spring and summer months
it is pulling air from the
inside of your home and
through the filter, cooling
it, and then pushing it
through the ventilation
into each room of your home.
The air is then recycled
through the return vents
and goes through the same
process until the inside
temperature of your home
reaches what it was set
to, at which point it shuts
off. Your system will continue
to cycle this way as temperatures
fluctuate and each time
it cycles on and pulls air
from inside your home it
is also pulling in dust
and pollen that was let
in through windows and doorways,
and carried in on your clothing
from the outside, which
is then caught by the filter.
Some people will spend the
extra money for a filter
that promises to catch more
of these allergy offenders
thereby reducing or even
eliminating allergic reactions
within the home, providing
more comfort. While these
filters may help with one’s
allergies they also inhibit
airflow within your HVAC
system. A regular filter
is the same as one that
reduces allergens. The difference
is the size of the holes
in the filter. By having
smaller holes in the filter
you are able to catch smaller
particles and allow less
to pass through. The particles
stay on the filter and over
time build up until the
filter is removed and cleaned
or replaced. As they build
up on the filter they begin
to restrict air flow. Take
a kitchen sink strainer
for example; there are two
different kinds of strainers.
One strainer has large holes
and the other is more of
a mesh. If I were to pour
a pot of broccoli and water
into the sink while using
the large holed strainer
the water would quickly
drain but some of the smaller
particles from the head
of the broccoli would go
through the strainer and
down the drain as well.
If I were t!o do the same
thing using the mesh like
strainer none of the broccoli
would go down the drain
but the water would have
a much more difficult time
draining also. By restricting
the air flow in your HVAC
system during the cooling
season it could cause your
air conditioner to freeze
up, a motor to burn out,
or cause other costly repairs.
During
the winter months it is
equally important to mind
the frequency of changing
your filters because of
the increase in germs and
illness. According to Dr.
Mehmet Oz, humidity during
the summer months is denser
than germs therefore creating
a ceiling between us and
the germs, preventing sickness.
In the winter months when
the humidity is lacking
there is no protective barrier
which is why people get
sick more frequently. Much
like the air conditioner
your heater pulls air from
the inside of your home,
goes through the filter,
heats it, and then pushes
it through the ventilation
to each of the rooms in
your home. Therefore if
someone in your home gets
sick, the germs continue
to cycle through your ventilation
time and time again. Changing
your filters will aid in
reducing the longevity of
a germ induced illness and
prevent it from reinfecting
that person as well as others.
Changing your filters regularly
during the heating season
will also help to prevent
costly repairs.
