The air filter in your home is the first line of defense against germs, bacteria, and viruses and other indoor pollutants.
Air filters are made for the heating and cooling equipment.
They can be a one time use product or a washable product that can be used many, many times. Air filters are made to keep pollutants away from the system and out of your home. Dust and dirt can cause system problems or failures. Dust and dirt can also cause problems with the indoor air. Air filters should be changed frequently in order to keep your home safe and free from allergens and contaminants. My family all suffers from allergies. My son has problems during the spring when the pollen count is really high, but my wife and I suffer all year round. Both of us suffer greatly during the height of allergy season. We have to buy air filters that are made for homes with multiple allergens. The air filters have activated charcoal to help remove odors and unwanted smells from our home. They also trap allergens and keep them out of our home. The last time that we changed the air filter in our HVAC unit, we had to wait six weeks instead of four. The air filters were out of stock at the hardware store and we had to order them online. By the time they arrived, we were at the six week mark. The air filter was covered with dust and dog hair. Thankfully, we ordered extra filters so we won’t run into that trouble again.
