It’s always recommended to change your air filter every two to three months, or more if it’s suggested by the manufacturer. But why is this important? Changing your air filter regularly, and having clean air circulating in your house, can have huge health benefits for you and your family.
Less allergy and asthma symptoms
If you are one of the three million people in America who suffers from asthma, you already know the importance of clean air. Reducing the number of allergens and pollutants in your home can leave you feeling better and visiting the doctor less.
Sleep better
Clean air at night means you won’t wake up coughing, are less likely to suffer from sleep apnea, and will wake up feeling well-rested.
Clearer skin
Dermatologists recommend cleaning your face at least once a day, usually at night, with a cleanser. Wiping off your face after a long day outdoors, you’ll see why – dirt and allergens cling to your skin and pores. The same can happen inside your home, so cleaner air will leave your skin healthier.
Happier life
Studies across Europe and Canada have shown that air quality directly affects happiness and psychological well-being. The phenomenon could have to do with dramatic instances involving outdoor haze, but it’s also known that if people believe they are being cared for with resources like clean air and clean water, even as just perceptions, their quality of life improves.
Long-term health benefits
Clean air also reduces the likelihood you will acquire a lung, heart, or vascular disease. With fewer airborne pollutants in your home, you’re less likely to inhale anything that can have negative effects on vital organs.
