Some homeowners wonder why they would need to have an air cleaner in their home when their heating or cooling system already contains a filter. What they do not realize is that an air cleaner is what will benefit them and the other residents of the home. The air filter is designed to reduce the debris that can enter the furnace or AC. Filters remove dust, dirt and pet hair that circulates where the air intake is located. It captures these items and stops them from entering the HVAC system. Filters need to be replaced or cleaned regularly to remove these items and ensure the air is able to circulate correctly.
