Air conditioner filters collect dust, allergens, and other tiny particles as air passes through them. With time, those particles collect and can clog a filter if it\u2019s not changed regularly. Standard air filters are designed to last for up to one month, but there are some filters that last up to three months. You may find that you need to change your AC’s filters a bit more often because they fill up a bit faster.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t change your filter regularly, your AC won\u2019t work efficiently and may have a shortened lifespan. You know how much you depend on your air conditioning in Monroe, GA<\/a>, and you don\u2019t want to experience a breakdown in the middle of summer. Let\u2019s take a closer look at what can happen if your AC filter isn\u2019t changed regularly.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Higher Operational Costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It costs more to operate a poorly maintained AC. The more debris stuck on the filter, the harder your system must work to keep cool air flowing through your home. Working harder means using more energy, and that results in higher bills for your household.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reduced Ventilation Airflow <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You need a steady supply of well-balanced airflow for your air conditioning to run efficiently. Well-balanced means that the amount of air pulled into your AC and the amount of air delivered to your home are equal.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A clogged AC filter makes it much harder for air to pass through, reducing the amount of cool air making it into your home. That imbalance will make your system work harder, increasing your energy bills and leading to unnecessary repair costs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reduced Cooling Capacity <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As your system works harder and harder to operate with a clogged filter, you will start noticing less cool air circulating in your home. Your system simply can\u2019t keep up with the intense demand for air conditioning if it has a clogged filter for an extended period.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tripped Circuit Breakers <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Clogged filters will eventually lead your AC to overheat, which will trip the circuit breaker. If you continue to flip the breaker back on without correcting the problem, you could do substantial damage to your AC. Overheating is a serious concern, so don\u2019t just keep flipping the breaker. Contact our professionals to inspect your AC for damage.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frozen Evaporator Coil <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When your AC is functioning properly, warm air blows over the evaporator coil. The refrigerant inside the coil absorbs heat from that air, creating the cold air that then flows through the vents. When your system isn\u2019t working efficiently due to a clogged filter, warm air doesn\u2019t flow freely over the coil. The result is a frozen evaporator coil, which results in no cool air coming into your home.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AC Unit Damage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finally, dust and dirt can accumulate inside your AC unit when you don\u2019t have a clear, functioning filter in place. That dirt can lead to substantial damage, so you will have repair bills or possibly an early system replacement in the future. It\u2019s always more affordable to change the filter than to pay those bills.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
