HVAC systems for homes and businesses are all equipped with air filters that prevent dust and grime from getting into the equipment. These HVAC filters play a vital role in not only ensuring that your heating and air conditioning system is functioning properly, but they also play a key role in regulating the indoor air quality of your space. Clogged HVAC filters compromise the performance of your system and can often result in higher energy bills, among other things.
Changing the filters on your HVAC system is a quick and easy way to improve performance. Galmiche & Sons can give you advice on how to go about these changes.

Why Should I Change My HVAC Filters?
For most people, once their HVAC system is up and running, they forget about it as long as it is working. Out of sight, out of mind. The only time they think about making changes to it is if there is a breakdown or the power bill goes up. By regularly changing the air filters in your HVAC system, you can help to prevent unwanted surprises and achieve lower energy costs.
Take a look at some of the reasons you should change you HVAC filters more often:
- Lower Energy Bills – This is a big one. Dirty or clogged filters make an HVAC system run longer and work harder, which means it consumes more power. Changing filters increases efficiency.
- Dust Reduction – When the filters in your system are clean, they collect more dust, and this directly contributes to improved air quality in your home or business.
- Lengthen System Life – The length of life on your HVAC system is directly related to regular maintenance. Changing out the filters is a key part of regular maintenance that can extend equipment life.
- Preventative Measure – HVAC filters are designed to keep dust and debris from getting into the moving parts of your system. When filters are clogged, they allow dust to accumulate which can lead to overheating and other costly breakdowns. Regularly changing your filters can directly help to prevent major repair costs.
