Replace your Air Filters Frequently to Cut down on Utilities

The average home has one or two filters inhabiting the heating and cooling ducts, and they can easily clog up and impede the flow of air throughout the home.

Freely flowing air is a great factor in keeping heating and cooling costs low, by allowing your climate control system to be efficient and effective.

If you are able to scrape together 10 or 11 dollars for the necessary filters at your local or online retailer, you might be able to save $40 a year or more in energy costs.

As a bonus, cleaner filters help to prevent accumulation of dust and mold on the condensers in an air conditioner, and extend the life of the system as a whole. Not to mention that you will be breathing much cleaner air.
