Air Conditioning and Home Air Filters

In this example, the home has two air-filter systems: one washable filter and another that is replaced every three to four months. Better sealing can reduce air loss and support cleaner air and greater energy efficiency.

Key takeaways

  • Builders have worked to make homes more energy efficient by limiting air loss through windows and minor wall openings.
  • The example home has two air-filter systems.
  • One filter is washable and should be washed every three to four months.
  • The other filter is replaced every three to four months, and the systems help provide purer air and greater efficiency.

Explanation

Builders have focused on making homes more energy efficient by reducing the amount of air lost through windows or minor openings in the walls. In this home, one filter is washable and should be washed every three to four months, while another filter is replaced on the same schedule. The filters are removed for washing or replacement. These systems help make the air purer and the home more efficient because the home was better sealed during construction.

English version

Talking about air conditioning and how builders have focused on making homes energy efficient, so they lose little air through windows or minor openings in the walls and make the home have lower energy consumption. Look, for example, at this case. This home does not have air filters here in the returns and, instead, it has two filter systems, one of which is even washable, like this one, which should be washed every three to four months. These filters are removed and washed, this filter here. And it has another filter that is also replaced every three to four months and is the only filter that comes with the home. These systems make the air purer and the home more efficient because during the construction process they sealed it better.
