Replacing a home air filter is an important part of maintaining a healthy indoor air quality. Whole house air purifiers are designed to remove dust, allergens, germs, pet hair, dander, smoke, mold spores and other pollutants from the air. HEPA air purifiers are the most effective at trapping 99.97% of airborne particles and irritants. If the filter is not changed regularly, particles will accumulate on the filter and reduce its effectiveness.
The cost of replacing a home air filter depends on several factors, such as the type of filter, how often your HVAC system runs, and other air quality issues in your home. Flat filters are the cheapest option but should be replaced every 1 to 3 months for optimal performance. If you have an expensive air purifier with a complex problem, such as an engine issue, you should contact a professional repair service. To reduce the frequency of replacing your air filter, you can improve indoor air quality by using a vent while cooking or not smoking in the house.
Additionally, you should check your filter packaging to see how often the manufacturer recommends replacing it with a new one. Popular brands of air purifiers include PURO²XYGEN, Dyson, Levoit and Honeywell. If all you need to do is replace a dirty air filter or a washing machine, you can probably do it yourself. However, if you need to repair an engine or other complex issue, you should contact an experienced repair professional near you.
Repair costs vary widely depending on what needs to be done.
