It's essential to keep your air conditioner running efficiently and your home healthy by regularly checking and replacing your air filter when necessary. There are several signs that indicate it's time to replace your AC air filter, such as dusty surfaces near the vents, lack of cold air even when the AC is on, and frequent sneezing or asthma attacks. Fiberglass filters, which are less expensive, require more frequent cleaning and changing. A clogged air filter can interfere with the normal air flow of your air conditioning system, reducing its efficiency and increasing energy consumption. It can also cause dirt to accumulate in the cooling coils, leading to a range of problems such as overheating, lack of cold air, hot air coming out of the back of the unit, and freezing of ice in the coils.
Fortunately, a clean filter can help keep your home healthy by preventing you from inhaling too many airborne particles. By replacing your air filter in time, you can increase efficiency and reduce energy consumption by up to 15 percent. It will also help prevent dirt from accumulating in the cooling coils and keep your home healthy by filtering out pollutants and harmful contaminants from the air you breathe.
