10 Tips for Keeping Your AC Running Smoothly this Summer - #1 Clean or Replace Air Filters Regularly

#1 Clean or Replace Air Filters Regularly

Regularly cleaning or replacing air filters is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to maintain your air conditioner. Air filters trap dust, pollen, and other particles, preventing them from entering your AC system and your home. Over time, these filters can become clogged with debris, restricting airflow and causing the system to work harder than necessary. This not only reduces efficiency but also increases energy consumption and utility bills. For optimal performance, check the filters every 1-2 months, and clean or replace them as needed.

Neglecting this maintenance task can lead to a variety of issues. A clogged filter can cause the evaporator coil to freeze, leading to inadequate cooling and potential damage to the system. Additionally, restricted airflow can result in uneven cooling, with some areas of your home being too hot while others are too cold. By keeping the air filters clean, you ensure a steady flow of clean air, enhance indoor air quality, and help your AC unit operate smoothly and efficiently throughout the summer.
