Your heating and cooling system is an appliance that plays a critical role in keeping your home comfortable year-round. Like most home components, however, it experiences issues that can prevent it from performing its best. One of the most common sources of system inefficiency involves the filters getting dirty too quickly. Tyler Heating, Air Conditioning, Refrigeration LLC, a trusted water heater repair and AC maintenance expert, explains the reasons behind this problem and ways to fix it.
The truth is, air conditioning system filters often get dirty faster than we anticipate. This can be due to different factors, such as location, the type of filter you’re using, and level of maintenance. Some filters are more prone to getting dirty quickly because they may have a looser weave that allows more particles to get stuck.
Additionally, having a poorly maintained system or living in an area with poor air quality would cause the filter to become clogged much quicker and need replacing frequently.
A maintenance plan with a reliable local AC repair company is the most common and effective way to keep your air conditioner’s filters from getting too dirty. It’s also important to check the type of filter you are using; many newer, higher-efficiency filters can last longer than those requiring more frequent changes. Moreover, you have to make sure that whatever area you might be storing the filter in, such as an attic or basement, is properly sealed so no pollutants can enter through windows or cracks in walls.
An additional preventive measure to consider is adding a filter cleaning system. This will automatically clean the filter when it gets too dirty, saving you time and money by halting replacement costs. Some systems also come with built-in sensors that can detect changes in air quality within your home and alert you of any potential problems — perfect for keeping tabs on your air conditioning system!
Making sure your furnace or air conditioner has a fresh filter is important to ensure consistent indoor comfort and air quality.
