Close-up of the elements of a clean car air filter; dynamic shot using diagonal lines.Well…yes. But we won’t stop there. We’re happy to explain why this is the case, and just what it is that you get from regularly cleaning (if you have a permanent filter) or changing your air filter every 1-3 months as needed.

And this air filter isn’t there to protect your indoor air quality either (despite popular belief) but rather the inside components OF those HVAC systems. So true, it may seem a bit early to be talking about your heating system, but because of the shared importance of your air filter, we feel this is a pertinent topic no matter the time of year.

Whole-House Air Filtration Keeps Spring Allergies in Check

Monday, May 1st, 2017

air-filter-changingAir filtration is a more important part of your air conditioner than you may think.

Learn more about why it may be necessary to add a new air filtration system to your home, and why a whole-house system is best, in today’s guide. And call our team for air filtration systems in Douglas, GA.
