The cost of air filter replacements can range from a few dollars to hundreds of dollars. It depends on the size and model of the heating and cooling system and the filter’s Maximum Efficiency Reporting Value, or MERV rating.
This rating is given to different types of filters based on the density of the fibers and the amount of airflow it allows.
Your equipment’s owner’s manual provides air filter information, but you can also find out the dimensions, brand, and MERV value by taking a look at the filter that’s already installed.
Reasons to Replace Your Air Filters
Air filters protect your system's blower motor from dust, pollen, dirt and other airborne particles that can reduce the efficiency of your system. Lower efficiency means higher energy bills. The same particles can accumulate and lead to breakdowns.
Replacing air filters regularly will help avoid the cost of these additional repairs. The air flowing from your system through your home’s ductwork eventually becomes the air you breathe.
Dirty air filters can lead to bad indoor air quality, which can cause itchy eyes, nose, and throat, headaches, and fatigue. Replacement air filters improve indoor air quality and protect you and your family's health.
