Discover the Importance of AC Filters for Your Home

Most people just think that their air conditioning filter is something that traps dirt, debris, and dust. It is, but it does FAR more than just that. Having a dirty AC filter will affect your system as a whole as well as your electric bill. Let’s take a deeper look into how AC filters can affect your home and wallet:

  • HVAC blowers are responsible for circulating the air through your home. With a dirty filter, this component will work far harder than needed. This will lead to the component needing to be repaired or replaced sooner than otherwise needed
  • Excess dust on the filter can provide a place for moisture to collect. Once moisture has collected, mold and mildew can begin to grow. This growth will be spread through the ductwork, allowing it to be inhaled by everyone in the home
  • Air conditioners contribute a large percentage to your energy costs. When the filter is overly dirty, the sensors that control the temperature may not work as well, causing your home to be uncomfortably warm even though your unit is running. This can add more than 18% to your energy costs

When to Change Your AC Filters: A Guide for Topeka Residents

Some AC companies stress that everyone should change their air conditioning filters every few months or after a certain amount of days. This schedule might work for some households, but each home is different. Some homes have pets, some homes are rarely occupied, and some have occupants with allergies. So, the question remains: when should you have your AC filter replaced? Here are a few guidelines that may be useful:

  • Vacation homes or homes with only one resident will only need AC filter replacement every 6-12 months
  • An ‘average’ suburban home (no pets) should replace the filter every 3 months
  • Homes with a dog or cat should have the filter replaced every 2 months
  • Homes with more than one pet or that have an allergy sufferer should change the filter every 20-45 days

The above guidelines are just that–guidelines. They do not take into account the type of filter being used, pollution in the area, nor the overall indoor air quality.

Expert AC Filter Replacement Services in Topeka

Although changing an AC filter is usually easy enough for most homeowners, sometimes it can present a problem. Air conditioning filters that are located in odd or hard-to-reach areas can cause a homeowner to change it less than regularly. There is also the chance of installing the wrong type of filter or doing so incorrectly. Choosing a professional air conditioning company to replace and install filters can make doing the job easier, and ensure the correct filter is installed every time.
