Dog owners already know the hair gets everywhere, especially during the fall as they shed their lighter summer coat. What's less obvious is how much of it ends up inside your HVAC system.
When a filter loads up early, your system still has to pull air through it. That can show up in a few ways:
▪️Longer run times to reach the same temperature
▪️Higher energy use over the course of a month
▪️Weaker airflow in the rooms farthest from the unit
▪️More dust settling on surfaces you just cleaned
▪️Extra strain on the blower motor
Most homes with pets do better on a shorter replacement cycle than the box suggests, and wind season tends to shorten it further. Bear Protection Plan members also get a discount on high-efficiency filters, which hold more before they load up.
