Spend a Little, Save a Lot
Back in 2008, when the price of oil shot up to $140 a barrel, energy prices were propelled to record highs. Consumers cooling their homes were hit with costly bills. Now, as the turmoil in the Middle East continues, some analysts say that oil prices will continue to rise—and consumers may once again be faced with sky high costs during the heat of the summer.
During the hottest days of the summer, the last thing you want on top of the high cooling bills is your air conditioning unit breaking down. Using the right air filter—and replacing it regularly—can actually help prevent such a catastrophe.
A high-quality pleated filter will keep dust from building up on the moving parts of your unit, as well as on the evaporator coil that’s located deep inside every split-system central air conditioning system. It’s absolutely imperative to change out that filter before it becomes overloaded and begins restricting air flow—which eventually leads to equipment breakdown.
My husband has been an HVAC technician for more than 35 years, and owned and operated his own contracting business for 17 of those years. More times than he cares to remember, he or one of his technicians was called out to a repair job where an overloaded air filter had caused the evaporator coil to become frozen over. There were even times where a plugged filter had restricted air flow to the point that it was likely the cause of a burnt blower motor. All because of the neglect of replacing a lowly $10.00 air filter.
Here at FilterSolution.com, we’re in the prevention business. I want all of my customers to avoid the unnecessary cost and avoidable hassle of repairs—something that’s so easy to do by regularly changing out the filter. Sometimes all you need a little reminder. We’ve got a service where you can sign up for reminder emails that is completely free and extremely useful. Because we think it makes so much more sense to spend a little on a replacement filter rather than a lot on a major repair. Click here to sign up!

Tip from the Filter Queen
You want to get the most bang for your buck out of your high-quality filters: changing them out before they get overloaded, but not before they’ve been fully used. The best way to know when is with an air flow monitor—a mechanical gadget that attaches to the cabinet of your blower or air handler and tells you when it’s ready to be switched out. It can even be installed remotely if your unit is in a hard-to-get-to place. Take a look at it on our website or give us a call at 866-385-2098 to order yours today.
