The Hidden Champion of HVAC Maintenance: Your Air Filter

Every homeowner wants to maintain a comfortable living environment while keeping energy costs manageable. At 7th Generation Air Conditioning and Heating, we often remind our customers that one of the most crucial yet overlooked aspects of HVAC maintenance is regular filter replacement.

Why Filter Changes Matter

Your HVAC system’s air filter serves as the first line of defense against:

• Dust and debris
• Pet dander
• Pollen
• Airborne particles

When filters become clogged, your system has to work harder to maintain proper airflow. This increased strain can lead to:

Short-term Issues:

• Higher energy bills
• Reduced air quality
• Inconsistent temperature control

Long-term Problems:

• Premature system wear
• Component failure
• Expensive repairs

Most manufacturers recommend changing filters every 60-90 days, but homes with pets or allergies may require monthly changes. By maintaining clean filters, you’re not just improving air quality – you’re protecting your investment and ensuring your system operates at peak efficiency.

Regular filter maintenance is just one of the many services we prioritize at 7th Generation Air Conditioning and Heating. Remember, a well-maintained HVAC system is a lasting HVAC system.
