What is the important of life-cycle costs?
The best way to use filters as an energy conservation tool is to consider the total life-cycle cost of the filter and the filter’s long-term effect on energy costs. The three major components of life-cycle cost for HVAC filters are: initial price and maintenance, energy consumption and disposal. On average, energy cost accounts for an astounding 81 percent of the total life-cycle cost of a filter system.
