Manage episode 399608012 series 2634587
When is the last time you thought about the filters in your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system? In this enlightening episode, Gareth Kelly, an expert from Dream Team Plumbing, Electrical, Heating, and Cooling, joins our host to address a common question: "How often should one replace the filters in their air conditioning and heating system?". This episode provides insightful information on the significance of regular filter replacements in maintaining the efficiency of your HVAC system.
During the interactive discussion, Gareth highlights that many people neglect the replacement of their air filters due to busy lives. However, the continued functioning of an HVAC system shouldn't guarantee less attention. According to him, smaller or standard one-inch filters should be replaced every one to three months, while the larger three or four-inch filters that do a better job of collecting dust and allergens could last between six and nine months with at least a three-month check on their condition.
Interestingly, the expert explains that neglecting regular filter replacements not only exposes your HVAC system to wasteful energy consumption and harder furnace work but can also cause damage to the system, leading to expensive repairs or replacements. Hence, regular maintenance, including bi-annual or quarterly filter replacements, is essential for your air conditioning and heating system's wellbeing.
If you feel unsure about handling your HVAC maintenance or don't know how to replace the filters yourself, don't hesitate to call in experts like Gareth and his team at Dream Team. Tune in to this episode to grasp more about HVAC system maintenance and save hundreds of dollars on your energy bills and potential repair costs.
