Air Filters and your Austin home

Air Filters and your Austin home

• A dirty air filter in your Austin home will force your heating and air conditioning system to work harder to cool or heat.
  
  
• When the system has to work harder it is costing you money and using more energy. Over working your system will just shorten its life.
  
  
• Christian Brothers recommends that you change your filters at least once per month.
  
  
• A good tip is to write the date that you changed the filter right onto the side of the filter when you put it in. This will remind you when you put it in.
  
  
• Some people just change the filter the first day of each month which is easier to remember.
  
  
• Some people change their filter each time they get their utility bill. If your utility bill is so high that you tend to loose your breath, call Christian Brothers Air Conditioning and we will be happy to visit with you and see about designing a more efficient system for your house.
  
  
• Changing your air filter is really the least expensive action you can take to protect your air conditioning system
  
  
• Nobody wants to breath more dust and pollutants than they have to and of course who wants to constantly dust furniture, so keep changing those filters and trap all the dirt you can.
  
  
• If you don’t regularly change your filters, dirt builds up in your coil and your ductwork and that can only lead to problems
  
  
• The better and more expensive filters do trap more particles than the cheaper filters; with the better filters can typically remove more irritants, dust, mold spores, etc.
  
  
• A good tip is to purchase several filters at one time and then you will always have one in inventory.
