Can't remember the last time you replaced your HVAC filter? You're not alone. But letting it go for too long may be costing you—in energy bills, your system's longevity, and even indoor air quality.
A dirty filter can do more than limit airflow. It can cause your HVAC system to work harder, force dust and allergens into your home, and reduce the comfort you enjoy daily.
We're big believers in simple solutions with dramatic results, at Ideal Air. Here's why a clean air filter is one of the best (and easiest) ideas you can have for your home and your health
What Does Your HVAC Filter Actually Do?
In Minnesota's varied weather, your HVAC air filter plays a crucial role by trapping dust, pollen, and pet dander, improving indoor air quality, especially during allergy seasons. A clean filter prevents dirt buildup, allowing your system to run efficiently, saving you money while keeping your home cozy year-round.
Wondering if it’s time to change your filter? Keep an eye out for these common signs:

Unsure which filter is best for your system? No worries—Ideal Air is here to help you choose the right one.
Dirty filter may be able to do more than limit airflow on your HVAC—dirty filter might actually affect gravely the air in your own home. The filter, having become clogged, can fail to prevent offending particles such as dust, pollen, pet dander, and mold spores. These harmful substances then pass through your household and affect your air.
For people who have allergies, asthma, or other respiratory conditions, breathing in such pollutants can produce symptoms like sneezing, coughing, congestion, or shortness of breath. Even nonallergic people will have their eyes irritated, induce headaches, or become tired from poor air.
