Changing your filter on your a/c is one of the easiest but most forgettable tasks that comes with having an a/c. Here are some great reasons to make sure you keep up with it! Changing the A/C filter in your home isnt just an easy maintenance task; it’s one of the few DIY procedures a homeowner can perform that substantially and immediately impacts performance and efficiency. If youve ever scheduled a service call for an A/C problem, you may have noticed that one of the very first things a trained technician does is check the condition of the air filter since proper system airflow is a critical element. A dirty filter can be the major factor behind a long list of A/C dysfunctions. Checking and changing the A/C filter is key to preventing or resolving many of these issues. Here are some of the reasons why: A dirty filter causes the blower motor, one of your system’s most expensive components, to strain due to restricted airflow. An overheated motor may have reduced service life and require premature replacement. As components like the blower fan and compressor run longer to offset restricted airflow, more electricity is consumed and utility bills increase. Costs will decline when the filter is replaced. A dirty filter means dirty air. Indoor air quality suffers when an obstructed filter no longer efficiently removes airborne particulates including allergens like pollen, mold spores and dust mites. In fact, dirty filters frequently serve as a breeding ground for microorganisms that contaminate indoor air. (Having an UV bulb helps with this too! Ask us how to purchase one today!) When the filter is clogged, a condition called air bypass results, allowing unfiltered air to circulate continuously through your duct work. Accumulations of dust inside your ducts may require eventual duct cleaning in order to restore healthy air quality. By increasing the amount of energy your home consumes 24/7 during cooling season, a dirty A/C filter increases your carbon filter and adds to your home’s contribution to greenhouse gases and other pollutants.
