INDOOR AIR QUALITY

Indoor Air Quality

The Cost of Dirt

Performance goes down
and operating costs go up:
 
Changing your air filters helps improve system efficiency and performance.
 
  • “A dirty filter will slow down airflow and make the system work harder to keep you warm or cool – wasting energy and leading to expensive repairs and/or early system failure.” – Energy Star
  • “1/8 of an inch of dirt and dust buildup on the blower wheel can reduce airflow by up to 30%” – Texas A&M Study
  • “A buildup of .042 (1/20) inch of dirt on the heating or cooling coil can result in a decrease in efficiency of 21%” – Environmental Protection Agency

 

Homes with pets that shed need to check and change filters more frequently—during both heating and cooling seasons.

How System Cleanliness Impacts HVAC Performance and Your Family’s Health

Did you know your heating and cooling system circulates approximately 1.4 million cubic feet of air each day? That’s a lot of airflow! Over time, dust, dirt, pet dander, and even biological contaminants can accumulate in the system, affecting the quality of the air it distributes.

Even in the cleanest homes in the Nashville area, these particulates can build up, impairing system efficiency and compromising indoor air quality. For families dealing with allergies or asthma, maintaining clean air is especially crucial.

At Copeland Home Services, we work with thousands of Middle Tennessee homeowners annually to address these air quality issues through preventive maintenance. While we handle the maintenance, your proactive steps to keep your system clean are the first line of defense.

Change Your Air Filters Regularly!

Regardless of whether you’re heating or cooling your home, it’s essential to check and replace your air filters frequently. A dirty filter restricts airflow, causing your system to work harder and consume more energy, which can lead to costly repairs and reduce the lifespan of your equipment. We offer high-efficiency air cleaners and filters that are superior to standard options available in retail stores. Ask us for more information!
