Kenderdine’s Heating Oil & HVAC

Spring brings sunshine, fresh air, and for many of us, sniffles and sneezes. While you may be quick to blame blooming trees and high pollen counts, your indoor air could be part of the problem. If your AC filter hasn’t been changed or cleaned recently, it might be circulating allergens instead of keeping them out.

Your HVAC system works hard to maintain a comfortable temperature, but it also plays a big role in your home’s air quality. A dirty or clogged filter can’t trap dust, pollen, and pet dander effectively, which means those particles stay in the air you breathe.

Don’t Let a Dirty Filter Ruin Spring

How often should you check your AC filter? It depends on your filter type:

• Disposable filters: Swap them out every 1–3 months. Households with pets or allergy sufferers should lean toward the monthly mark.
• Washable filters: These should be cleaned every three months. After rinsing, make sure they’re fully dry before putting them back in place.

Pro tip: Always give the filter rack a quick vacuum or wipe-down when you change or clean the filter; it helps keep dust from blowing back into your system.

You may also consider upgrading your system with HEPA filters or UV lights. These additions to your system can further improve your home’s air quality.
