Most people know they should change their air conditioning filter, right? But it's not high on our list of priorities. Changing your filter should be a priority and here's why:
Dirty air filters reduce air flow- As a filter becomes clogged, it reduces the air flow, causing the fan motor to work harder. This results in more energy use, causing higher electric bills.Dirt builds up inside the unit- This causes such problems as dirty coils which can make them freeze up. Frozen coils block air flow, causing your unit to work harder to try and cool your home. This puts more strain on the unit in those hot summer Florida months. If this continues, you may end up having to replace your system sooner than you should have.
Dirty ducts - Dirty air filters cause your ducts to become dirty. This causes your unit to work harder, You will have more dust in your home and higher electric bills, as well as multiple health problems from allergies and sinus problems.
