Your furnace is a forced air heating system. That means it needs a constant supply of fresh air to properly function, otherwise you end up with a machine that runs at half capacity. Or worse: it begins to develop problems that it otherwise wouldn\u2019t, causing you more money over the course of its lifespan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting timely furnace repair in Conway, AR<\/a> is how you get ahead of problems before they compound and cost you more money. One of the best ways to do that is by changing out your air filter on a regular basis, and today, we\u2019re going to explain why that\u2019s so important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Filter Impact on Your Air Quality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While it\u2019s not the primary function of your furnace\u2019s air filter, it does help control how much dust and debris makes it back into the air that you breathe. The main reason for your furnace capturing dust at the air intake is because it needs clean, clear air to make your furnace function. Without that, it runs into major problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The upside is that it also pulls all of that muck out of the air. You should switch out your air filter once every 30-90 days, though we recommend the former since a lot can happen in a short amount of time. While this isn\u2019t the only indoor air quality measure you want in your home, it\u2019s nice that it helps you fight against poor IAQ at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Furnace Operates More Efficiently<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Without clean air, your furnace would slowly accrue dust and debris on vital components that can stop working as a result. Without buildup, each part moves and operates as it\u2019s supposed to, and there\u2019s zero obstruction. This makes dust one of the biggest enemies of your furnace, which is why your air filter is there in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Increased Lifespan for Your Furnace<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Overall, your furnace will be more efficient, meaning it won\u2019t have to run for as long during each heating cycle. It may even require fewer heating cycles throughout any given day, so you don\u2019t end up paying for more heating cycles than needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We like to think of your furnace, and all HVAC equipment in general, as having an invisible \u201cwear and tear budget\u201d of sorts. It\u2019s the total amount of usage your furnace gets before it runs its course and breaks down for the last time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changing your air filter every 30-90 days is performing maintenance on your own furnace, and it\u2019s necessary. Think of changing your air filter as slowing the progression of damage in that wear and tear budget every time you pop a brand-new filter into place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
