How Dirty Air Filters Negatively Affect Your AC System

Air filters are often overlooked when it comes to maintaining your HVAC system. However, they play a vital role in the efficiency of your unit. Today, let's discuss how dirty air filters can negatively affect your AC system and ways Reliable Heating & Cooling can help.

Decreased Indoor Air Quality

You and your loved ones deserve clean, crisp air to breathe. Invisible dust particles, pet dander, and other airborne pollutants can silently affect your health and exacerbate respiratory issues, such as asthma and allergies. By replacing your air filters every three months, you can take control of your indoor air quality and ensure optimal system efficiency. For those living in an environment prone to higher levels of airborne pollutants, it is advisable to replace them more frequently.

Decreased indoor air quality creates the perfect environment for high humidity levels, mold or mildew growth, and excessive dust accumulation. This is not only uncomfortable, but it is detrimental to your health. Contact Reliable Heating & Cooling for innovative solutions to increase your indoor air quality. Our team can help by installing an advanced air purification system that captures dust particles, bacteria, and unpleasant odors that affect the air quality in your home. This system is cost-effective and highly efficient, ensuring you and your loved ones breathe clean, crisp air.

Reduced Airflow

When your air filters become clogged with debris, it not only affects your health but also the performance of your HVAC system. Adequate airflow is essential to keeping your energy bills down and prolonging the lifespan of your unit. Your HVAC system must work harder when the air filters are dirty, causing internal components to wear out more quickly and consume more energy. By maintaining clean air filters and regular HVAC maintenance, you can potentially save on energy costs and avoid costly repairs.

Frozen Evaporator Coils

Another risk associated with dirty air filters is the freezing of evaporator coils. The lack of proper airflow can cause decreased efficiency, which results in further damage to your HVAC system if the evaporator coils freeze.

Knowing that you can prevent a total system failure and costly repairs or replacement will bring you peace of mind.
