The Silent Culprit: How Dirty Air Filters Impact Your AC’s Performance
The Overlooked Component of Your Air Conditioning System
When it comes to maintaining your home’s comfort, the air filter in your AC unit plays a crucial role. At Trinity Air Conditioning, Co, we often encounter homeowners who are unaware of the significant impact a dirty air filter can have on their system’s performance and efficiency.
Why Air Filters Matter
Air filters serve two primary purposes:
- Improving indoor air quality by trapping dust, pollen, and other particles
- Protecting your AC’s internal components from debris buildup
When these filters become clogged, they can cause a range of issues that affect both your comfort and your wallet.
The Consequences of Neglect
Failing to replace your air filter regularly can lead to:
- Reduced airflow, causing your system to work harder
- Increased energy consumption and higher utility bills
- Frozen evaporator coils
- Premature wear and tear on AC components
How Often Should You Change Your Filter?
The frequency of filter changes depends on various factors, including:
– The type of filter you use
– Your home’s air quality
– The presence of pets
– The number of occupants in your home
As a general rule, we recommend checking your filter monthly and replacing it at least every 90 days.
