Changing the air filters in your home air conditioning units is the least expensive thing you can do to maintain your cooling system. Dirt and air pollutants can damage your health and damage the equipment requiring expensive repair or replacement of the system.
A clogged air filter not only allows more dust to circulate throughout your house it also makes your HVAC system work harder to pull the air through the filter therefore causing your power bill to go up. There are many different types of filters available now - Everything from the cheap old blue filters to fancy Hepa type filters that are supposed to clean everything out of the air. If you have sever allergies the expensive filters may be the thing for you...However keep in mind those filters are much thicker than the average filter - therefore causing the unit to work harder to pull the air through. The filter we like to use, and think is the best thing for HVAC maintenance are actually the chespest ones you can buy. They do the job perfectly, and still allow air to easily pass through.
Filters should be changed out every 30 days. It's the easiest way to maintain your HVAC unit.
