Keep Your AC Filter Clean For Peak Performance
The Hidden Hero of Your Air Conditioning System
Many homeowners don’t realize that one of the simplest yet most crucial maintenance tasks for their air conditioning system is regularly checking and changing the air filter. At Richard’s AC Company, we’ve seen countless cases where neglected filters led to unnecessary strain on cooling systems.
Here’s why clean filters matter:
- Improved air quality throughout your home
- Enhanced system efficiency and performance
- Lower monthly energy bills
- Extended lifespan of your AC unit
- Reduced risk of system breakdowns
How Often Should You Change Your Filter?
The frequency of filter changes depends on several factors:
– Every 30 days for basic 1-inch filters
– Every 60-90 days for pleated filters
– More frequently if you have pets or allergies
– More often during peak cooling seasons
Remember that a dirty filter forces your AC system to work harder, consuming more energy and potentially leading to premature wear and tear. By maintaining clean filters, you’re not just protecting your indoor air quality – you’re also protecting your investment in your cooling system.
Professional Maintenance Matters
While changing filters is something homeowners can do themselves, it’s just one part of a comprehensive maintenance routine. Regular professional maintenance ensures your system operates at peak efficiency throughout the cooling season.
