Air filters do just what their name says: they filter the air. Not only do they keep pollen and dust out of the air you breathe, but they also keep large particles out of your HVAC system. Not changing them is the leading cause of HVAC system issues. In fact, a clogged filter forces your system to expend more energy, causing your utility bill to go up and your air quality to go down. The worst-case scenario is that your system overheats or freezes up.
However, changing filters may not be as easy as a trip to Home Depot. There are many factors to consider: size or dimensions, filtration rating (MERV, MPR, FPR), pleated versus fiberglass and more. Let Bankston help you navigate this integral part of your HVAC system and provide and install the best air filters for your home.
