How to Change the Air Filter in Your Home: A Complete Guide
Keeping the home with a crisp, clean air is just as easy than before through replacing what we call "media filter. This filter is a key component to ensuring the operation of your home HVAC system. When it becomes filled with debris that clogs the paper filter, you know its time for a new one. The following is a comprehensive step-by-step procedure to help you on this journey:
Step 1 The first thing you need to do is close down your HVAC system for safety and ease of replacement.
Step 2: Find the media filter near your HVAC system's air intake, which is located in a wall or ceiling.
Step 3: Lift a panel or unscrew some cover and remove the old filter.
Step 4: Slide in the new filter according to its direction (yes, your air conditioning unit will come with directions for that pretty handy pro-tip!)
Step 5. Put a dipper cover and plate to hold new filter in place
Step 6: You are now ready to turn your HVAC system back on, and return it into its usual mode of functioning.
Congratulations! Congratulations, you have just replaced your media filter which has helped to make the air in home what it should be cleaner and healthier.
The time to change your filter is typically about every month, but you should check the status of it monthly for best results. If it looks dirty, or if you notice that your HVAC system is not working as well as before -those are the two main signs of change-.
Better Air Quality: One of the main functions or benefits of a clean filter is ensuring that your indoor air is not full of contaminants.
Improved Energy Efficiency - A clogged filter can also be the reason behind energy consumption from your HVAC systems.
Longer System Life: Replacing the filter on time can also lengthen your HVAC system's life.
Save Energy: If you change filters on a regular schedule, your system will have to work less hard and be that much more cost-efficient.
Peace of Mind: Homeowners can rest easy knowing that their HVAC system is performing efficiently.
These filters are designed to last between one and three months, with standard ones needing replacement every 1-3 months.
High-efficiency filters may only last six to twelve months before needing replacement.
Keep in mind that this is generally what should be done, the actual time of replacement may vary depending on use and air quality. As such, it is important to perform monthly checks on your system and change the filter when that time comes.
Hopefully, a media change is very easy to perform and will help keep your house warm in winter and cool in summer. If you follow these steps and continue to be proactive in conducting filter maintenance, it can help save money on your HVAC system and create a cleaner living environment.
