Changing your a/c’s filters is an essential part of maintaining the system.
By removing particles from the air coming into the system, these filters prevent clogs and dust from spreading throughout the house, yet many people don’t clean their A/C filters often enough.
You can prevent your system from overheating and shutting down by doing this every 3 or so months. Maintaining your air conditioner will prevent complications in the future and make sure you do not ignore your air filter. This could result in higher weekly bills, less cooled air, less airflow, and frequent breakdowns for your system. Clogged air filters make it harder for the AC system to pull in enough air to operate properly. Your home’s energy costs will rise significantly if it has to work harder, and when the bill is high there is a problem. Second, the amount of cooled air is reduced. In the absence of correct airflow the system cannot cool enough air fast enough. As a result, your household may feel warmer than it should. You might want to check the a/c’s filter if your bills are rising while your household is warmer than you would like it to be. Less airflow is also an issue if your air filter needs changed. Place your hand over the vent in any room in your home, if you hear the a/c functioning but you don’t have a lot of air coming through the vents, that could be an indication of a clogged filter. Check numerous areas of the home, especially those furthest away from the system to ensure there’s ample flow. The more time between air filter cleanings, the more likely you are to have service needs. All of the plugged material gets into your a/c system, and that can lead to a breakdown or early wearing down of the components. If you’ve noticed that you’ve had to have technicians out to service your home’s AC numerous times, then it may be time to consider a full inspection.
