My house seems extra dusty after winter, but I have been changing my filters regularly. Is that normal?

It could be that you need to increase the frequency of filter changes, or you may need to consider an air duct service to address dust getting blown back into living spaces. Our expert service professionals would be happy to do an evaluation of your home and duct system to guide you in the right direction!

Are air filters in Nashua affected during winter?

Because our homes stay closed up for most of the winter, furnaces circulate the same indoor air continuously. Dust, pet dander, smells from cooking, lint, and other particles build up more quickly on filters during the heating season as a result.

Should our filter be changed more often because we burn wood in the winter?

If you regularly use a wood stove or fireplace, yes, you may want to at least check your filter more frequently. Fine ash and additional airborne particles from smoke can dirty HVAC filters sooner than they would in homes that don’t burn wood for heat.

How is uneven heating/cooling related to filter health?

Dirty filters restrict airflow, making it harder for conditioned air to reach every room evenly and consistently. Larger homes or multi-story layouts that are common throughout New Hampshire are the most likely to experience different temperatures throughout the house as a result of filters not being changed.

About Furnace and AC Filters in New England

A clogged HVAC filter restricts airflow, forcing your furnace or air conditioner to work harder to move conditioned air throughout your home. The strain of pushing air through dirty filters can affect your system's efficiency, which increases your utility costs and shortens the lifespan of some components.
Every home is different! Tightly sealed homes have different filtration needs than a classic New England colonial downtown, for example. Families with pets, wood-burning fireplaces, respiratory conditions, or allergies may prefer a different filtration grade than households without. We'll recommend the proper filter for your specific home and air quality concerns.
For homes around Nashua, air filters should be inspected every month and replaced every one to three months, but your schedule could vary based on your specific air quality concerns or home conditions. A household with pets that shed or severe allergies may prefer to switch out their AC and furnace filters more often to alleviate irritation.

Are You Due For a Filter Change?

So you don't remember how long it has been since your heating and AC filters were changed last - that's okay! Look for these symptoms in your home to determine whether or not your filters need to be changed:

Needing to dust more frequently/increased accumulation
Weak airflow from vents
Aggravated respiratory symptoms or worsened allergies indoors
Stale, musty odors when your HVAC system runs
A visibly dirty or clogged filter
Difficulty heating or cooling, or system runs longer than usual

If you recognize any of these warning signs around your home in Nashua, your air filters are likely due for replacement! Schedule an appointment online, or contact our anytime customer service to make an appointment that's convenient for you.
