When the summer heat hits, your air conditioner becomes your best friend – but a dirty air filter can quickly turn it into your worst enemy. Air filters are designed to trap dust, pollen, pet dander, and other airborne particles. However, when they become clogged, they restrict airflow and force your system to work harder, leading to reduced efficiency and comfort.
One of the first signs of a dirty filter is uneven or weak cooling. If certain rooms in your home feel warmer than others, or your system is constantly running but can’t reach the desired temperature, the filter could be the culprit. A clogged filter also increases energy consumption, which means higher utility bills. In extreme cases, your AC unit can overheat or even suffer long-term damage due to poor airflow.
Another major concern is indoor air quality. A dirty filter can’t effectively trap contaminants, leading to increased dust and allergens in your home. This can trigger respiratory issues, especially in children and those with allergies or asthma.
Regularly replacing or cleaning your air filters – ideally every 1 to 3 months – can drastically improve cooling performance, extend the life of your HVAC system, and keep your indoor air fresh and healthy.
