HVAC filters, also known simply as home air filters, are inserted into your HVAC stack and are critical to your home's indoor air quality. Further, they work to reduce wear and tear on your home's heating and cooling systems. HVAC filters must be sized appropriately and replaced regularly for the best results. Fortunately, the service professionals at Aire Serv of East Raleigh have years of experience installing and replacing home air filters for home and business owners throughout Knightdale, NC and the surrounding areas.

Home Air Filter Installation
While the system and filter type may vary, all HVAC systems should have an air filter. If you suspect your HVAC system lacks a filter, contact your local Aire Serv of East Raleigh as soon as possible. An HVAC system operating without proper filters will recirculate dirt and dander throughout your home and may leave the internal mechanisms of your systems vulnerable to damage.
Our Air Filter Replacement Process
To replace your HVAC system air filters, your service professional will:
- Identify all the filters within the system.
- Identify the ideal replacement for each filter.
- Carefully remove the existing filters, noting any wear and tear, damage, or unusual buildup around them.
- Install the new filter.
- Schedule an appointment for future replacement (every three months).
The Importance of Residential Air Filter Replacement
Proper air filter maintenance is crucial to the longevity and efficiency of your HVAC system. Dirty air filters can:
- Reduce Efficacy – Old filters lose their ability to filter air. The more debris and particles trapped in the filter, the more it struggles to work.
- Interrupt Airflow – A filter clogged with particles doesn’t have the room to let air flow freely. Your house won’t cool or heat as effortlessly until someone changes the filter.
- Cause System Strain – Without easy airflow, your system fan will use more energy to push air through your vents. The strain on your unit's systems makes them more likely to freeze or overheat since they can't dedicate energy to temperature maintenance.
- Encourage Mold Growth – More debris in the filter means more surface area for mold, mildew, and bacteria to grow, as moisture also gets trapped in the clogged filter.
- Promote Dirty Ducts – Particles that usually get trapped in the filter may settle in the ductwork instead. Duct cleaning will reduce the problem, but you'll need to do it more often if old filters are regularly left in your HVAC unit.
How Often Should I Change My Air Filter?
Most home air filters need to be changed every 90 days for typical, year-round use. However, this recommendation can vary by household. Pet-friendly homes or homes located in dusty or dry climates may benefit from more frequent air filter replacements.
In addition, areas with high pollen content, homes with leaky ducts, and houses with two or more furry pets will often see air filters get dirty more quickly than average. If your filters get dirty faster without visible sources of extra debris, your service professional may suggest ductwork inspection and repair.
