The 16x25x1 air filter is available at most retail stores as it is one of the more common air filter sizes. The importance of taking care of your home's air filter is quite often overlooked, but keeping on top of it comes with many benefits, like:
How does your 16x25x1 filter work?
According to the EPA, one of the top five environmental health risks is indoor air pollution. Factors that cause a decline in indoor air quality include multiple sources that allow airborne particulates and matter to get indoors, poor ventilation, increase in temperatures and off-balance humidity levels. There are sources throughout your home that attribute to indoor air pollution. Smoke from cooking, air fresheners and candles, carpet, furniture, cigarette smoke and even printers contribute to indoor air pollution.
Can You Improve Your Indoor Air Quality?
Yes! HVAC systems allow air that is coming indoors to circulate throughout the home. It is during this circulation that air is forced to pass through the air filter. The 16x25x1 filter traps the particles and particulates in the air therefore passing clean air back into the home. These particles and pathogens include:
The main way to protect your homes IAQ is to reduce the sources that are contributing to indoor air pollution. As a result, the 16x25x1 air filter can effectively capture the pollutants and return clean air back into your home. Most importantly, your homes air filter needs to be changed regularly to ensure the cleanest indoor air possible.
Air filters not only protect indoor air quality, but also protect HVAC equipment from damage. Regular maintenance of a HVAC system includes changing dirty air filters with a new, clean one. The particles that cause indoor air pollution can also destroy your AC system. If dust and debris build up on the motor and wires, and water collecting around the evaporator coils/condensate lines lead to mold growth. Holes and/or leaks within the equipment also allow for debris to enter the system. Any of these factors can cause expensive repair costs and even permanent damage to the whole system. Using a clean 16x25x1 air filter saves you from damage to these pricey components:
According to the Department of Energy, replacing dirty filters with clean air filters can reduce energy consumption up to 15%. Combine that with the fact that heating and cooling systems are responsible for nearly half your energy usage, there is a potential savings of 7.5% each month.
For example, let's say your home's energy bill is $100/month. If you regularly replace your air filters, there could be an energy savings of ~$7.50 monthly! Energy bills in the $200, $300, $400 range are looking at even more savings – up to $30/month. Regularly maintaining your HVAC system with clean air filters is definitely worth it, but there are other ways it saves money as well.
