Filters work to keep dust and debris out of the sensitive components of your heating system. A clogged filter can result in reduced airflow, which could potentially cause your heat exchanger to overheat. This scenario has the potential to result in a breakdown, which is cold and expensive. If you regularly change your furnace filter, you greatly reduce the chances of a system failure. Additionally, when you change your furnace filter, you are taking direct steps to help your system run at peak efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Wondering if it is time to change your furnace filter? We can help!

It has the capacity to not only ensure your furnace runs smoothly, but it can also affect the health of you and your family. At Galmiche and Sons, we like to make sure our customers are fully informed about the best practices for their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/quote-request.php\">HVAC system<\/a>. As such, changing your furnace filter regularly is a key part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/hvac-maintenance-extends-life-system\/\">HVAC maintenance<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a list of why you should change your furnace filter regularly:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Air Quality Issues<\/strong> &#8211; Ensuring that the air inside your home is free of allergens and irritants is the key to a healthy home. This is especially true if any of your household members suffer from respiratory issues such as asthma. Regularly changing your filter can mitigate this.<\/li>\n<li><strong>System Overuse<\/strong> &#8211; Seasonal fluctuation can drastically affect your HVAC unit. Here in St. Louis, it is not uncommon to go from hot summers to cold winters at the drop of a hat. This often means your system has been working overtime year-round. If this is the case, it is even more important that you change your furnace filter to prevent excess strain on the system.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Household Pets<\/strong> &#8211; Here at Galmiche and Sons, we are big animal lovers and so are a lot of customers. Pets can be a great addition to a household, but they can put extra strain on a filtration system. If you have pets, it is essential that you change your furnace filter regularly as fur and dander can quickly clog it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Often_Should_You_Be_Changing_That_Filter\"><\/span>How Often Should You Be Changing That Filter?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Regular maintenance is a fact of life for homeowners. Whether it is plumbing or HVAC, something is usually in need of attention. We believe that you should be changing your furnace filter at least every 90 days. If you have pets, allergies, or an especially cold winter, changing it every 30 &#8211; 60 days may be more appropriate.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Not_Sure_How_to_Change_Your_Furnace_Filter_Let_Us_Help\"><\/span>Not Sure How to Change Your Furnace Filter?
