The Hidden Impact of Air Filter Placement
Since 1949, Perry Heating, Cooling, and Plumbing has been the leading HVAC and plumbing company for Tucson, AZ and surrounding communities. Through decades of experience, we’ve learned that some of the most overlooked aspects of HVAC maintenance can have the biggest impact on your system’s efficiency.
One crucial element that many homeowners don’t consider is the location of their air filter and how it affects overall system performance.
Here’s why filter placement matters:
- Proper airflow distribution throughout your home
- System efficiency and energy consumption
- Prevention of dust and debris accumulation
- Extended equipment lifespan
Most modern HVAC systems have their filters located in one of two places: either in the return air grille or within the air handler unit itself. Each location has its benefits and potential drawbacks, but what’s most important is ensuring your filter is correctly sized and installed for your specific system configuration.
Regular maintenance of your air filter, regardless of its location, is crucial for optimal performance. In our hot Tucson climate, where air conditioning systems work overtime, proper filtration becomes even more critical for maintaining indoor air quality and system efficiency.
Don’t wait until you notice problems with your HVAC system. Schedule regular maintenance checks to ensure your air filter is properly placed and functioning as it should. Remember, a well-maintained HVAC system isn’t just about comfort—it’s about saving money and protecting your investment in your home’s comfort system.
