A Clogged Air Filter Has Substantial Negative Effects

Your home’s HVAC unit is designed to cool and filter air inside your home so that you can enjoy clean, fresh air. You only realize the full significance of your air conditioner when it stops working. Like any other device, the air conditioner requires regular maintenance like changing the air filter to make sure the unit functions effectively throughout its lifetime.

Performing maintenance procedures ensures the HVAC system works at its highest efficiency without unnecessary breakdowns. One of the most important components of an air conditioner is the air filter. There are many types of filters for different HVAC systems. A clogged air filter has substantial negative effects on the HVAC. You should check your air filters condition to ensure optimal performance of your HVAC unit. Changing the air filter is an important part of HVAC maintenance. You can find many types of filters in your local electric repair shop. Here are some of the benefits of HVAC maintenance.

Lower Energy Bills
Regular maintenance, as simple as cleaning a clogged air filter, can improve the efficiency of your HVAC and help you to save money on your energy bills. Dirty air filters prevent HVAC units from circulating air effectively. This means you have to let the air conditioner run longer every day or adjust the temperature setting on the unit because the air in the room is stale even with a running air conditioning system. Dirty condenser coils in HVAC systems burden the air compressor, which draws more energy from the electric outlet and results in higher bills.

Repair Costs
Regular maintenance of your HVAC helps you to save money on repair costs by diagnosing small problems before they become worse and more expensive to repair. Dirty condenser coils cause the compressor to work extra hard, which may lead to premature failure of the compressor. The cost of checking and cleaning air filters and other HVAC components is lower than the cost of replacing those components. Preventive maintenance helps to detect issues with the HVAC such as water leaks that may damage the AC unit.

Extended Equipment Life
Preventive maintenance helps to extend the life of your HVAC. Well-maintained HVAC units last longer and perform at peak efficiency. If one component of the HVAC fails, it can burden the entire system, which may lead to total breakdown ultimately. Regular maintenance helps to keep all parts of the system working effectively reducing stress on any component in the unit. Well-maintained HVAC systems last longer and perform better over a long period. Call your local repair shop today and ask for HVAC maintenance.
