One reason to change the filters on the HVAC system is to help reduce the chances of expensive damage.
Getting an oil change in your car is something you can’t neglect. So by that same logic, why would you neglect the crucial components found inside your commercial HVAC system. That’s why it is so important to change out the HVAC filters kept within it on a regular basis. Let’s learn more about how this happens.
Reduce the Chances of Expensive Damage
Whenever something happens to your HVAC unit, it can cause some downtime. Downtime is the enemy of your bottom line. One reason to change the filters on the HVAC system is to help reduce the chances of expensive damage. This damage will only pile up the longer it is left unaddressed. Dust, debris, and other contaminants can enter through intake vents and travel through ductwork that will leave untold amounts of chaos where you can’t see it. The grime begins to affect the motors, fans, and pulleys that the system relies on to operate.
Save Money on Power Bills
Homeowners and business owners alike are understandably concerned about the money they can save by upgrading their HVAC systems. Another reason to change the filters is simple – you can start saving more money! The power bills can be knocked down, which means that your expenses will go down accordingly. With more money in your budget, you will be able to focus on serving customers better and avoid disastrous downtime. Without enough airflow, the likelihood of technical problems occurring goes up. That’s why preventative maintenance is so important, especially when it is carried out by experts who have decades of experience.
Help HVAC Systems Last Longer
Changing HVAC filters is an easy way to help your system last longer because it doesn’t have to work as hard. The estimated lifespan of 15-20 years is based on the assumption that the thermostat, blower motor, and fan blades continue to work normally and aren’t being ignored when they need to be serviced, as they will from time to time.
Decrease the Amount of Allergens
Spring is coming and that brings with it another set of allergies to deal with. Dust and dirt particles can bother your customers and clients when they walk in; they can also affect your employees. For this reason, you are obligated to have the HVAC filters changed out according to a reasonable timetable.
