Changing out your filters regularly allows your system a refresh. Odor-causing build-up is created in your air filters over time and not changing them regularly can fill your home with a funky smell. Once changed, your filter can do a great job of catching more air contaminants and your home will smell great again.
If you do not feel like your home is refreshing fully, you can always hire a professional to check out your ventilation system. Having your air ducts cleaned and system tuned-up will make sure your system is in good shape to circulate clean air.
