Indoor air quality affects comfort in both homes and businesses. Dust, pollen, smoke, pet dander, and a dirty filter can reduce airflow and allow more particles to circulate.
Replace HVAC filters regularly
Homeowners and businesses should replace their HVAC filters at least every three to six months when operating conditions allow. Homes with pets, allergies, construction dust, smoke, or heavy system use may need filter changes more often. Always use the correct filter size and an appropriate efficiency rating for the equipment.
Keep return and supply grilles clear
Furniture, boxes, and other obstructions can restrict airflow. Keep grilles clean and leave open space around them so the system can move air properly.
Control moisture and indoor pollutants
Use kitchen and bathroom exhaust appropriately, address water leaks promptly, and avoid storing strong chemicals near occupied areas or HVAC equipment.
