Importance of Air Filters

Service Experts reports: Sometimes I'm asked what is the most important thing that homeowner's can do to protect their air conditioning and heating system between their regular Maintenance Tune-ups. It's a simple question with a simple answer; remember to change the heating and air conditioning air filter. Changing furnace and return air filters is crucial to the proper performance of your HVAC system, not to mention your home's air quality. Did you know indoor air pollution is one of the top five environmental health risks?* I know it's the last thing on your mind, but this is really important stuff. Changing the air filters is not all that hard for most homeowners, but there are usually two obstacles to actually getting it done:

1. Knowing just how often to change your furnace or air conditioner filter.
2. Remembering to change air filters when needed.

1. When To Change Your Air FiltersSimple, when they're dirty. Ok, now here's how to... Wait, not enough info? Ok, well... you can read the rest of this section for the details, or just skip over it if you're good to go.

Ready to dive in? Good, I like that. How often to change your air filters can depend on several factors:

• the type of air filter you are using
• the overall air quality of your home
• pets, pets, pets..
• occupancy of the home, and
• the level of air pollution and construction around the home
• ...and did I mention pets? Oh yes, pets.

We recommend you change your filter every 30 days. 

2. How To Remember To Change The Darn Things

It's simple. We will post a reminder to Facebook at the beginning of every month!

Remember that Air Purifying Systems' filters are made with a tacky material that traps more particles than an average filter. Combined with our UV system, we allow for the freshest possible air in your home.

Air Pollution

We are concerned with your health and purifying the air you breathe for a healthy body, able to enjoy all the things you do. Recent federal government budget cuts, however, are less concerned with these factors.

Some national examples, according to John Miller of the Associated Press include:

In Texas, Gov. Rick Perry, a Republican presidential candidate, signed a budget that cut funding for the Texas Commission for Environmental Quality more than 30 percent, from $833 million to $565 million. That included reducing air quality inspections and assessments.
Oregon, for example, reduced air pollution monitoring, as the Department of Environmental Quality faces budget cuts through 2013.
The state Department of Environmental Protection in Pennsylvania has seen general fund support slip from $217 million in 2009 to $140 million, levels last seen in 1994.

Further, the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Air Act may be a good start, but is not enough to protect Americans from air pollution. Says Amy Mail of the National Resources Defense Council, the "EPA’s proposed emission reductions for toxic air pollutants are based on the maximum achievable level of control in 1999, not on today’s technologies." This kind of outdated measurement may result in procedures that are more like bailing water out of a leaking boat than plugging the hole.

There is still much to be done by factories, by the government, by legislation, but in the mean time, purify the air you breathe with us. It's one thing you can control in an unsure world.
