Change the Air Filters When You Move Into a New Home

There’s a lot to do when you move into a new home, from unpacking to popping some bubbly to celebrate. One thing that’s easy to overlook? Swapping out all those air filters.

As Bankrate points out, most homes have a lot of air filters. Chances are, many of them haven’t been replaced in a while. Here are a few they suggest swapping:

• Aeration filters in kitchen and bathroom spigots.
  
• The air filter in the heating and air conditioning unit.
  
• The vent filter above the stove.
  

...aerators cost about $7 each, and if there’s been an accumulation of sediment over the years, replacing them will improve the water pressure. Range vent filters can run $10 to $30, while heating and air filters are available for $5 to $30.

Next time you move into a new place, add this to your list. For more to-do list items, check out Bankrate’s full post at the link below.
