As a homeowner, you rely on your air conditioner to keep you comfortable when outdoor temperatures start to rise. What you might not realize, however, is that your air conditioner needs regular maintenance to keep the cool air flowing. From improving your indoor air quality to increasing your HVAC system’s efficiency, learn how air filters keep you comfortable.
Increase HVAC Efficiency
Your HVAC unit’s air filter has a big impact on your air conditioner’s efficiency and on your overall comfort. After all, a dirty air filter will slow the airflow to a crawl and force your air conditioner to put forth more effort for the same amount of cooling power.
Rather than letting dust, dirt, and other airborne particles clog your HVAC system’s air filter, make a point of replacing the filter every one to three months. By doing so, you’ll keep the filter as clean as possible and ensure that your HVAC keeps you cool while using as little energy as possible.
Lengthen HVAC System Lifespan
An HVAC system that has to work harder due to a dirty air filter is prone to more frequent breakdowns. Neglecting to change the filter regularly could even shorten the lifespan of your system, which means you could suddenly find yourself without a functional air conditioner. By replacing the filter regularly, you’ll reduce the chance of unexpected breakdowns or total HVAC failures and stay comfortable throughout the cooling season.
Improve Indoor Air Quality
HVAC air filters excel at capturing pet dander, dust mites, and even mold in your home’s air supply, but a filter that’s past its prime can only do so much. Replace yours every 30 days during the spring and summer months, and you’ll enjoy excellent air quality and superior comfort all season long.
