How Often Should St Louis Homeowners Replace Furnace Filters?

Furnace filters are an important part of your HVAC system. They help to remove contaminants from the air and improve the quality of the air in your home. Additionally, replacing or cleaning your furnace filters on a regular basis can help to improve the efficiency of your HVAC system and prevent problems down the road. So how often should you be replacing or cleaning your furnace filters?

Tips for Keeping Your Filters Fresh:

  1. Replace 1″ filters every month.
  2. Clean or replace media filters once a year, possibly twice a year depending on your home.
  3. Set an alert on your calendar to remind you to replace or clean your filters every month/year.

Replacing furnace filters promotes good air flow and prevents stress on blowers. By regularly replacing or cleaning your furnace filters, you can extend the life of your HVAC system. Clean furnace filters also improve the quality of the air in your home!

How to Change Your Furnace Filter

  1. Find the air filter – in most homes, the air filter is located in the return air duct or near the furnace.
  2. Remove the old air filter – carefully remove the old air filter and dispose of it properly.
  3. Choose the right replacement filter – measurements are often listed on the side of the filter itself
  4. Install the new air filter – insert the new air filter into the housing and make sure it is properly secured.

How a Multi-Zone System Works

A Mitsubishi Electric multi-zone system consists of an outdoor unit connected to indoor units through small refrigerant lines. Each indoor unit can be controlled independently, so you can heat or cool different areas of your home to different temperatures. That means you can keep your living room cozy in the winter and your bedrooms cool in the summer. And because each indoor unit only runs when it’s needed, a Mitsubishi Electric multi-zone system is also more energy-efficient than a traditional single-stage system. So not only will you be more comfortable, you’ll save money on your energy bills, too!

The Benefits of a Multi-Zone System

There are lots of benefits to adding a Mitsubishi Electric multi-zone system to your home. In addition to providing customized climate control, a Mitsubishi Electric multi-zone system is also:

  • Easy to install – no ductwork required!
  • Quiet – most indoor units operate at just 19 decibels – about as loud as a whisper.
  • Flexible – units can be ceiling-, floor-, or wall-mounted.
  • Attractive – sleek, unobtrusive design that complements any décor.

Total Heating and Air Conditioning System Maintenance: How Often Should it be Done?

As a St. Louis homeowner, you know that your total heating and air conditioning system is one of the most important components of your home. Not only does it keep you comfortable throughout the year, but it also helps to protect your home from the extreme temperature changes that can occur in our region. That’s why it’s so important to make sure that your system is properly maintained. But how often does it need to be done?

Factors to Keep in Mind

AAA installed furnaceThe answer to that question depends on a number of factors, including the type of system you have, the age of your system, and how often it’s used. For example, if you have a newer, high-efficiency system, you may only need to have it serviced once a year. However, if you have an older system or one that’s used more frequently, you may need to have it serviced more often.

Another factor to consider is the type of maintenance that’s being performed. Some types of maintenance, such as changing the air filter, can be done more frequently than others. Other types of maintenance, such as cleaning the coils, may need to be done less frequently.

In general, we recommend that homeowners have their total heating and air conditioning systems serviced at least once a year per unit. This will help ensure that your system is running efficiently and effectively all year long. If you have any questions about how often your system should be serviced or what type of maintenance it needs, our team at AAA Heating & Cooling would be happy to help.
