When was the last time you cleaned the AC filters in your home? It’s not something we take care about often, but keeping your AC filter clean can save your lungs, your Air conditioning system, and your bank account.
3 Advantages of Regular AC Filter cleaning
Regularly cleaning your AC filter has several benefits:
- Keeping you indoor air clean and free of allergens and dust. This is especially important for people with pets, or people who have allergies or respiratory problems. Dirty AC filter will spread dust and allergens through your home.
- Reduce AC power consumption. Clogged or dirty AC filters make your air conditioning system work much harder to cooldown your house. The harder your system works, the higher your electricity bill will be. Regularly maintaining your air conditioner filters can save 5 to15% on your utility bills every year.
- Maximize Air conditioner life. A dirty filter is the top reason that air conditioning systems break down. When AC filter is clogged, it causes several issues in the HVAC system starting from overheating up to compressor damage.
Whether you need to improve indoor air quality health reasons, or you want to reduce energy consumption and repair costs in your home, regularly cleaning your Air conditioner filter is a cheap and easy step in your home maintenance routine. To determine how often to clean your AC air filter, check the AC user manual or ask Instacool team.
Recommendations are usually to clean your air filter every 1-3 months.
