Introduction

November is here, and as the chilly days settle over Fresno and the Central Valley, it’s prime time to make sure your home’s heating system is ready to work as hard as you do. We know – life’s busy, and things like furnace filter replacement can fall to the bottom of the list. But here’s the thing: replacing that filter isn’t just about keeping dust at bay (though that’s definitely a perk!). It’s about making sure your furnace runs efficiently and keeps you comfy all season long.

So, how often should a furnace filter be changed? Let’s dig into that and explore how the right filter (yes, quality matters!) makes all the difference. And, if you’re thinking, “This sounds like a job for someone else,” we’ve got you covered with our Fall Service Special and Energy Savings Agreement – more on that soon!

How Often Should You Replace Your Furnace Filter?

Great question! Most HVAC experts agree that furnace filters should be replaced every 1 to 3 months, but there’s a bit of wiggle room based on your home and lifestyle. Here are a few factors that might affect how often you should swap it out:

1.Pets: Fur and dander build up fast. If you’re a pet parent, that filter is working double-time!

2.Allergies or Respiratory Concerns: High-quality filters keep allergens at bay, so it’s best to change them frequently.

3.Central Valley Dust: Let’s be honest; the Central Valley can be dusty. If you live here, a high-efficiency filter is your best friend for indoor air quality.

4.The Age of Your Furnace: An older system might work a little harder, meaning your filter could get dirty faster.

While every home’s needs are unique, sticking to a regular replacement schedule will make a big difference. Plus, when it’s done right, filter replacement can actually extend the life of your furnace and improve its efficiency. It’s like giving your furnace a fresh pair of lungs every month!

Why Quality Matters: Not All Filters Are Created Equal

If you’re picturing the thin, flimsy filters you find at a big box store, think again. At NALK, we use high-quality furnace filters specifically designed for efficiency and durability. Here’s why that matters:

•Better Filtration: Our filters trap more dust, allergens, and pet dander, improving indoor air quality for a cleaner, healthier home.

•Longer-Lasting: Higher quality filters hold up longer, so you’re not stuck replacing them constantly.

•Less Stress on Your Furnace: A better filter means less buildup and strain on your system, reducing the risk of unexpected breakdowns when you need your furnace the most.

Many of our competitors go for the cheapest filters they can find – but not us. We’re committed to quality in every aspect of our service, from the filters we use to the way we install and maintain your system. It’s all part of our dedication to keeping Fresno homes comfortable and efficient!

FAQs: Central Valley Furnace Filter Edition


Q: Can I just buy any filter for my furnace?

A: Technically, yes, but quality matters! Cheaper filters don’t do as good a job of capturing dust and allergens, which can actually lower your indoor air quality and make your furnace work harder. Our high-quality filters ensure you get maximum efficiency and comfort – without the risk of a breakdown on a cold winter night.

Q: Will changing my furnace filter really save me money?

A: Absolutely! A clogged filter can make your furnace work harder, leading to higher energy bills and potential repairs. A clean, efficient filter lets your system run smoothly, saving you both energy and money in the long run.

Q: Is it okay to skip a few months?

A: We get it, life happens! But for the best results, try to stick to a schedule. Our Energy Savings Agreement makes it easy by including regular filter replacements as part of your service plan.
