A common practice in the Phoenix metro area is changing air filters inside homes. However, there are several homeowners that either don’t know how to do this or might need a little bit of help with this important job. Fortunately, there are many professional HVAC contractors that offer affordable service programs that often include replacing the filters inside your home that will increase the quality of the air you breathe daily and reduce your monthly energy bills as well.
Having A Professional HVAC Contractor Replace Indoor Air Filters
Benefit #1 – Professional HVAC Contractors Know How to Do it – Correctly
Many homeowners think that replacing their indoor filters is a very easy process. However, you’d be surprised how many install them backwards or incorrectly. And believe it or not, when an indoor air filter is not properly installed, it can cause many problems including:
- Restricted airflow. An indoor air filter is designed to circulate the air from inside your home, to the AC or heating unit and then back into your home through another vent. If the filters are not installed correctly, they can restrict the airflow causing inefficiency of the cooling and heating system. The result is that is can cause added stress to the HVAC system and consume more energy.
- Poor air quality. Indoor air filters are built to be installed a certain way to remove dust and debris from the air we breathe daily. However, if they are installed backwards, instead of collecting debris, it can blow more of it into your home.
Benefit #2 – A Professional HVAC Contactor Can Inspect The Entire System
Another great benefit to having a professional HVAC contractor install new filters inside your home is that they have the knowledge to see if you have a potential problem growing by inspecting the quality of the filter. For example, one of the leading causes of increased energy bills is ductwork that is leaking. And if your ductwork is allowing dirty air from outside to enter your home, a professional HVAC expert can see signs of this in the stuff embedded in your indoor filter. Leaking ductwork also allows cool air to escape, meaning that your AC system has to work harder to keep your indoor comfort level appropriate.
By having a professional come over and replace your filters, they can usually spot a potentially large issue soon – and offer a proactive solution that can save you a lot of money in the long run.
Benefit #3 – Its Simply Safer For Experts To Do The Job
Finally, probably the best reason to have a professional HVAC company replace your indoor air filters is that it’s simply safer for them to do this job. Many indoor filters are located on top of ceilings, which can be very difficult for many people to access. By having a professional come over to change indoor filters, you’ll be less likely to hurt yourself.
