Change the AC Filter to Keep it Running Smoothly

Here’s a few fundamentals from Energy Star for maintaining clean air and a smoothly running air-conditioning system in your home.

Check your filter every month, especially during heavy use months—winter and summer. If the filter looks dirty after a month, change it.

At a minimum, change the filter every three months. A dirty filter will slow down air flow and make the system work harder to keep you warm or cool—wasting energy. A clean filter will also prevent dust and dirt from building up in the system—leading to expensive maintenance and/or early system failure.
