Did you know
that the filters on your furnace and/or air conditioner should be changed every
three months? Filters can accumulate a lot of dust, pollen, mold, and other
contaminants, which can aggravate allergies or even cause disease. The American
Lung Association states that breathing in these particles can irritate the eyes
and respiratory tissues and decrease lung functioning.
When the filter
becomes clogged with dirt, it causes the furnace to work harder, which uses
more energy and ultimately costs you more money. Taking some time to maintain
your filters will improve the air quality in your home and save you money. The best news … it can save 350 pounds
of CO2 a year!
