Why Should I Change My Air Filter?

Posted On: April 22, 2020

Why Should I Change My Air Filter?

Your furnace and air conditioner work hard to keep your home comfortable during the cold and warm seasons. During these seasons, you should be checking your filter every 30 days and changing the filters at least every three months, depending on how often your unit is running.


Air filters are essential for your unit because they catch debris, dust, and pet hair that has found a way into the unit through the vents. The following reasons are why you should change your filters often:


  • A dirty filter causes the unit to work harder to keep your home comfortable, costing you more money to keep your home warm or cool.
  • A blocked or dirty filter can end up damaging your unit; a dirty filter hinders airflow, which can cause the motor to overheat and burn out, leading you to spend money on emergency maintenance to your unit.
  • Not only is a clean filter important for the longevity of your furnace and AC, but it is also vital for your family's health. Especially for those suffering from Asthma and allergies.

If you have pets or smoke in your house, it is recommended that you change your filters more often than the suggested three months. As mentioned above, check your filter every 30 days to see if it needs replacing.


To change your filter, remove the old one to find out which size your furnace takes. Replace the old filter with a new one. There are arrows on the filter that show you which direction it goes. The arrows must be facing towards the furnace and away from the return duct.


Remember, regular maintenance for both units will help them last longer. If at any time you need help, you can give us a call. We are your heating and cooling specialists.

Had new furnace installed and ran into some difficulties but the contractor responded in a timely and efficient manner - after further service calls were made, a reasonable resolution was found.

by Brian Burns, Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

The work was done quickly efficiently neatly and professionally. Pleased with the service, information, product, and the company.

by Geoff, Port Perry on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Great sales member named Dave came in told us some amazing items and how they would be priced installed an all. We couldn’t believe it! The next day the ac was installed, that day one employee named Greg told us that our furnace was working way to hard and was causing us to use way too much gas. So two days later they came in an installed a new furnace!

by MB, Ajax on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Installation was done quickly and professionally. The new furnace is quiet and provides even heat.

by Richard from Oshawa on Twintech Heating and Cooling

They removed and discarded old furnace. Installed new furnace. Installed air intake pipe, that had never been installed by builder, no charge. Replaced loose hose on floor with hard pipe and rerouted it to drain, no charge. Almost 33% cheaper then quote from Enercare, which was the company we dealt with and had insurance with for 8 years. No yearly fee for cleaning/insurance, saves 300 a year. Courteous, professional, fast, and friendly. My wife and I have been recommending them to everyone we know and meet, and will continue to do so. Thanks for everything, Twintech!!!

by Darcy from Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

This company was great to deal with. Our furnace went down and they installed a new furnace the next day with a lot of professionalism!

by gillian hooton from Uxbridge on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Finally! An honest company with highly knowledgeable and informative staff. Had a furnace service and found multiply errors in our system from an amateur installer. Very fair price to correct problems and will definitely use again.

by alisiena from Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Fantastic team. Completed the job as per the specifications and in under 3 hours. Highly recommended Twintech.

by David from Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

During the summer, I previously hired TwinTech to replace my air conditioner when it failed. They did an excellent job so when I decided to proactively replace the furnace I contacted them. The furnace I had was 22 years old and showed signs of internal leakage. It still worked but rather than wait to have it fail in cold weather, I decided to purchase a higher efficiency model before it failed and take advantage of energy efficiency rebates. TwinTech offered very useful advice on the make and model of furnace to choose including high efficiency and variable speed motor. The price was reasonable, TwinTech arrived at the allotted time, installed the new furnace (including some re-routing of exhaust lines since the existing ones were too close to other vents), removed the old furnace, tested the installation and cleaned everything up. Overall, it was a good experience, they did a great job and the new furnace is working well.

by Ruth on Twintech Heating and Cooling

TwinTech is an excellent and honest company! I called them for a second opinion after being told by another company that I needed to replace my furnace. Turns out this was not the case at all! I did not need a new furnace. TwinTech did not push to make an unnecessary sale and saved me from a huge expense. Bob and Mitch were extremely professional and above all honest! I definitely recommend TwinTech!

I highly recommend them for anyone needing HVAC services!

Great experience all around. Bob was sharp and easy to talk to, and Greg handled the installation perfectly. Would hire them again in a heartbeat.
