☀️ HOT WEATHER MAKES YOUR AC WORK HARDER!
During the hot summer months, your AC may run for hours trying to keep your home cool. A dirty air filter can make your system work even harder.
When your filter gets clogged with dust, dirt, and pet hair, it can block the airflow your HVAC system needs. This can cause:
• 🥵 Less cool air coming from your vents
• 💨 Weak airflow throughout your home
• ⏱️ Your AC running longer than normal
• 💰 Higher energy bills
• 🧊 Coils freezing up
• 🔧 Extra wear and tear on your HVAC system
• 🚨 More chances of an unexpected breakdown
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU CHANGE IT?
1-inch filter: Check monthly and typically replace every 1–2 months
2-inch filter: Typically every 2–3 months
4–5-inch filter: Typically every 6–12 months
These are general guidelines. Pets, allergies, dust, home size, and how often your system runs can mean you need to change your filter more frequently.
👍 EASY TIP FOR HOMEOWNERS
Don’t wait until your filter looks completely dirty. Check it regularly, especially when your AC is working hard during the summer. A clean filter helps your system move air properly and keeps your home more comfortable.
