Dirty and clogged filters can compromise your indoor air quality. If the filters get clogged, your system may automatically shut down; thus, cleaning and replacing your filters must be your priority. Do routine maintenance on air filters and keep them clean at all times.
Experts recommend upgrading to HEPA filters to reduce allergen buildup by up to 99%. This filter traps microscopic dander and other airborne particles hence, improving your IAQ and extending the life of your HVAC system.
