More Wear And Tear on Your AC Unit - Dirty Filter

By forcing your air conditioner to work harder, a dirty filter not only boosts cooling costs but also increases the amount of wear and tear your AC is subject to. A dirty filter will also increase the amount of friction-causing substances that find their way into the heart of your system. That’s because, by impeding the free flow of air, a dirty filter will increase the force of suction, thus drawing contaminants in around the edges of the filter. A surprising number of air conditioning repairs could have been avoided simply by keeping a fresh air filter installed.

We recommend changing your filter every month and at most every 3 months. It is a simple task that can have great long term benefits. If you have any questions, reach out to a St Albert AB air conditioning service.
