Tip of the Day: Change Your Air Filters Regularly


There's not too much to say about this picture...except that this is proof that everyone, even those who try to live in a healthy environment (not to mention those who try to save on their utility bills) can make mistakes!

Because let's be honest...that air filter is disgusting!  The other day I asked my husband if he had changed the air filter lately...he said no (hey, it slipped our minds). Well, this is what he found when he finally did change it-eww!

I could NOT believe how much dust was collected on this filter! We always buy the filters that trap dust, pollen & allergens & thank goodness! Because what if all of those particles had been floating around in our house! I can't even think about that.

So here's my tip of the day: Don't forget to change your air filters!! Not only will it help your a/c run more efficiently, it will also help you breathe cleaner air & possibly help reduce your energy costs.

And don't you worry, we will definitely remember to change our filters on a regular basis now!
