Separating Fact from Fiction in HVAC Maintenance

At Carden Heating & Cooling, we’re committed to providing our customers with accurate information about their HVAC systems. Today, we’re going to debunk a common myth that we often hear from homeowners:

Myth: You only need to change your air filter once a year

This is a dangerous misconception that can lead to reduced efficiency and potential damage to your HVAC system. In reality, the frequency of air filter changes depends on several factors:

• The type of filter you use
• The number of occupants in your home
• Whether you have pets
• The air quality in your area

For most households, we recommend changing the air filter every 1-3 months. This ensures that your system runs efficiently, maintains good indoor air quality, and extends the life of your HVAC equipment.

Regular filter changes offer several benefits:

1. Improved energy efficiency
2. Better air quality
3. Reduced strain on your HVAC system
4. Lower utility bills

At Carden Heating & Cooling, we’re always here to provide expert advice and services for all your heating and cooling needs. Don’t let myths compromise the comfort and efficiency of your home. Trust the facts, and trust our team to keep your HVAC system running smoothly all year round.
