A learning institution should be hygienically safe for the teachers, staff, and students.
One of the safety practices includes changing the air filters.
Replacing air filters in the school is determined by the size and type of the HVAC system. A small HVAC system placed in classrooms could most likely use the same air filters like those in similar-sized homes. Depending on different air filters, you could change them every 30 days to 6 months. The manufacturer will specify on the user manual how often they have to be changed. The school’s HVAC professional will also tell you how often the filters need to be changed depending on where he is placing them. When an HVAC professional does preventive maintenance, he will often examine and change the air filters. If the school is bigger with many students, your HVAC professional will require that the air filters be changed more often. When air filters have dirt, dust, and debris, they compromise the indoor air quality to cause allergic reactions to learners, teachers, and supporting staff. Depending on the type of HVAC system you have, your system may have one filter or an extra filter on the return ductwork. An air filter should be changed regularly so that the HVAC system of your school can work efficiently. Dirty air filters damage an HVAC system because they work extra hard to get the air needed to circulate in your school. When an air filter is full of debris, dust, and dirt, the system’s HVAC system components will start malfunctioning. The wear and tear caused by the frequent running of the machine will make the institution incur extra expenses in frequent repair. Frequent changing of the air filters will also reduce the energy consumption of your school HVAC unit.
