One of the most important factors to regulating the air quality in your home is to keep functional, clean air filters in your home's climate control system. With filters placed at several points throughout an air circulation system, including in vents and at the base of the furnace intake, it is important to keep them all clean and free of dust particles. The better your filters work, the fewer contaminants and problems you will be exposed to. Dust alone can cause a host of problems from allergies to respiratory problems. Also, when your body is reacting to foreign particles in the air, it weakens your immune system's natural ability to fight other illnesses. Regular air filter cleaning is an important part of the regular maintenance of the system.
If your home's climate control system needs air filter cleaning, you can do it one of two ways. Some consumers choose to simply replace the filters when they get dirty, or every thirty days. Another option is to purchase reusable air filters that you can rinse clean, hang to dry, then place back into the system. If you want to save money on disposable filters every month, consider the reusable version. They will pay for themselves after a few months of cleaning.
