Neglecting to change your filter can have several negative impacts on both your HVAC system and your indoor environment: Reduced Air Quality: A saturated filter may less effectively capture contaminants, leading to poorer indoor air quality. This can result in increased allergens, dust, and other pollutants circulating in your home. Increased Energy Consumption: A clogged filter restricts airflow, causing your HVAC system to work harder and consume more energy. This can lead to higher energy bills over time. System Wear and Tear: Overworking the HVAC system due to a clogged filter can result in faster wear and tear, potentially shortening the lifespan of the system and leading to costly repairs or replacements. Uneven Temperature Distribution: With reduced airflow, your HVAC system might struggle to maintain consistent temperatures throughout your home, leading to cold or hot spots and overall discomfort. Increased Humidity: In some cases, a dirty filter can reduce the efficiency of humidity control, leading to potential mold growth or an uncomfortable living environment. Regularly checking and replacing your Woosh filter is a simple yet essential maintenance task that can help you avoid these issues, ensuring a comfortable and cleaner living space while optimizing the performance and longevity of your HVAC system.
