Expert HVAC Contractors in Bentonville, AR

Tis the season...for dirty air filters. nIt’s that time a year again and now more than ever are people spending more time indoors. As furnaces and heat pumps are being pushed to their limit, ensuring homes are staying warm, so too are the filters that the air passes through. Often, we forget about these filters that help keep the air circulating through our home free of contaminates. The filter you see here was pulled out of a system of one of our customers. This may just be the dirtiest air filter I have ever seen, and I once had one that came out in 3 pieces! This is, of course, on the extreme side of examples, but most filters we see on service calls are not too far from this. Replacing your return air filter is a homeowner level maintenance, however most homeowners do not think about replacing them of they forget or simply do not have the time. Most homeowners are not equipped to fully service their HVAC system itself, which is a more complex system than most would care to admit. This is why your equipment’s manufacturer recommends and sometimes requires proof of yearly preventative maintenance checks on your HVAC system be done by a licensed HVACR contractor, and preferably a reputable, licensed, and insured company. These checks help increase the longevity of your equipment, they can help prevent sudden equipment failures and of course they help to ensure your indoor air quality is as high as it can be. Paying a little each year, can help save you a lot in the long term and can be the definitive factor in your system lasting on the higher end of that 15-25 year average lifespan.
