Fortunately, your HVAC filter can do a lot to help combat these contaminants, but it may need a little help to be able to function at its peak. Here are a few things you can do to ensure your HVAC filter is operating at its best:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Make sure it is installed correctly <\/strong>\u2013 Whether due to simple absentmindedness or a lack of knowledge, a filter that is not properly installed will not do much for you in terms of catching contaminants. Air filters must be of the right size and type intended for your system and should be properly installed, facing the right direction.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check it regularly <\/strong>\u2013 Depending on use and other factors in your home, we recommend changing or cleaning your HVAC filter at least every 3 months. Regardless, definitely make sure you are checking it monthly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Upgrade it <\/strong>\u2013 If you do not already have one, consider upgrading your filter to a HEPA-style model. We recommend opting for one with a MERV rating 10 or higher.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition to the care for your filter, you can also have your ducts cleaned. Over time, dust and debris can pile up in your home&rsquo;s air ducts, and there is nothing your HVAC filter can do about it. You may want to consider scheduling a professional cleaning so that your vents are not pushing out allergens.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Choose_Galmiche_Sons_to_Meet_Your_HVAC_Needs\"><\/span>Why Choose Galmiche &amp; Sons to Meet Your HVAC Needs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hvac-air-filter-catching-as-much-2-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"HVAC Filter Performance\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-7492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hvac-air-filter-catching-as-much-2-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hvac-air-filter-catching-as-much-2.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At Galmiche &amp; Sons, our sole ambition is giving our customers the best in home comfort &#8211; whether that is by helping you decide on a new HVAC system and installing it, providing your regular HVAC maintenance, or answering any other HVAC-related questions or concerns you may have.
