Common HVAC Filter Myths That Could Cost You Money
2 min readDebunking HVAC Filter Misconceptions
Here at Rego Electric Heating Cooling & Plumbing, we’ve seen many misconceptions circulate about HVAC maintenance, particularly regarding air filters. As a family-owned business that started in 2018 from humble beginnings in a garage, we’ve grown to understand the importance of proper information when it comes to home comfort systems.
One of the most persistent myths we encounter is that “the more expensive the filter, the better it is for your system.” This simply isn’t true. While quality matters, using a filter that’s too dense can actually restrict airflow and force your system to work harder, potentially leading to premature wear and tear.
The Truth About HVAC Filters
Here’s what you really need to know:
- Basic filters should be changed every 1-3 months
- Higher MERV ratings aren’t always better for your specific system
- The right filter depends on your individual needs and system specifications
