Dust and dirt may seem minor, but left unchecked they can cause real damage to your air conditioning system. Here’s how.
Restricted Airflow
Dust buildup inside your ductwork creates friction that restricts airflow and reduces overall system performance. It also degrades your home’s indoor air quality, which can make your family ill.
Clogged Air Filter
Your air filter should be replaced every one to three months. A clogged filter forces your system to work harder than it should, reducing both efficiency and effectiveness.
Reduced Efficiency
A dirty filter is just one part of the problem. Even a thin layer of dust on your coils acts as insulation, disrupting the heat release and cooling process and driving up energy costs.
The best defenses are simple: change your air filter regularly and schedule professional maintenance at least once a year, twice if you have a heat pump.
