17x22x1 Air Filter

Air filters are common tools used in AC systems to clean up incoming airflow. Your home air systems are constantly bringing in fresh air, but while it is fresh that does not mean it is safe to breathe in. The air surrounding your home may contain any number of allergens or pollutants that affect its safety. Your HVAC system need fresh air filters to have air pass through smoothly while any airborne irritants are captured in the tight mesh weaving. 

17x22x1 Air filters help keep indoor air quality up, but in the process, they will become dirtier over time. Your air filters draw in irritants and keep them from entering your ducts, helping keep the air in your home clean. The irritants build up over time and eventually, the filter becomes a problem for its system and your home as a whole. When fresh airflow is blocked or hindered then the air inside is likely going to dry out or stagnate over time.

Your HVAC systems are also strained when forced to use extra energy in an effort to ensure proper air flow passes through the blockage. When air systems are strained then that leads to issues with mechanical damage and additional costs over time.

Is It Time To Change Your 17 x 22 x 1 Air Filter?

With Filter King's premium, long-lasting air filter 17x22x1, you can expect them to last you for a period of up to 90 days. This is usually different based on each manufacturer's specifications but can usually be expected to last between 60 and 90 days. It's important to note, however, that even with these recommendations you may sometimes need to change it sooner and that could be due to one or some of the reasons below:

1. Reduced Air Flow & Cooling Inefficiency

If you notice that your air conditioning unit is not cooling as before, this could be one of the tell-tale signs that your air filters are long due for a replacement.

2. Increasing Power Bills

While there may be many causes of spiking electric bills, your overloaded AC unit could be one of the culprits. When your filter media is clogged due to overuse, your HVAC unit has to work much harder to keep the house cooler which then causes an increase in your energy bills.

3. Dirty Air Ducts & Vents

Another common sign of a dirty air filter is noticing dust on surfaces and furniture near air vents.

4. Minor Headaches, Fatigue & Allergic Reactions

For homes with allergy sufferers, forgetting to change air filters can mean a huge difference. Even the slightest inhalation of dust mite debris can trigger a severe allergic reaction.

MERV Rating 8, 11 & 13: Which Should You Use?
