Changing Your AC Filters

Changing your AC filters regularly is essential for maintaining efficient airflow and ensuring the air quality in your home. Over time, filters can become clogged with dust, dirt, and allergens, causing your system to work harder and reducing its efficiency. This can lead to higher energy bills and strain on the system, potentially causing costly repairs. Replacing the filter every ~3-6 months helps your air conditioner run smoothly, improves indoor air quality, and extends the lifespan of the unit. Regularly changing your AC filter is a simple yet effective way to keep your home comfortable and your system running at its best.
