3 Ways Dirty Air Conditioner Filters in Ahwatukee, AZ, Cost You

HVAC Tips & Tricks

When it comes to your air conditioner’s efficiency and effectiveness, filters play a key role. Unfortunately, many homeowners tend to wait until their air conditioner in Ahwatukee, AZ, stops working before they clean or replace their filters. Although this is usually in an attempt to cut expenses, it can prove to be more expensive in the long run.

Poor Health

Your air conditioner is responsible for cooling and cleaning the air in your home. It’s the air filter’s job to trap the particles or contaminants that would otherwise degrade your indoor air quality?

Over time, dust, dirt, dander and other indoor pollutants accumulate on your air filters, hindering the flow of air. When you don’t clean or replace the filter regularly, it becomes quite difficult to clean the air in your household.

That means that pollutants can easily pass through. In some cases, the trapped particles will get released back into your home. Eventually, this could lead to health problems down the road.

Reduced Air Conditioner Lifespan

Dirty air filters hinder airflow, forcing your air conditioner to work harder than it normally would. As a result, it endures more wear and tear.

Ultimately, the AC system will demand more repairs and replacements, which can be quite pricey. In the end, you might have to replace the air conditioner earlier than anticipated.

High Utility Bill

As mentioned earlier, dirty air filters will cause your AC system to work harder than usual. Furthermore, your air conditioner will work for long hours to keep your indoor air clean and meet the desired temperature.

In some cases, dirty air filters might cause frequent short-cycling, leading to energy wastage and uncomfortable temperatures. Don’t forget that more energy use translates to higher energy bills.

What is considered an evidence based HVAC recommendation?

Every component of a HVAC recommendation should be supported by evidence. Evidence should come in the form of a reading, a picture or a technician physically showing you the condition or product they are recommending.

Most air conditioning companies, not REEIS, pay their technician with 100% commission. When a technician is paid only if they sell a product or service it can result in a technician recommending a product or service you may not need. It is always recommended that you request the technician provide you the evidence of the recommendation.

Do air conditioning system have parts which wear out?

Yes. Several air conditioning parts are wear out parts. Just like any car, there are several components which should be replaced as they are beyond their useful life. If you neglect the worn part replacement, larger, more expense repairs may result.

How long does a heating and air conditioning system typically last?

In our Phoenix's extreme climate, air conditioning systems typically have a 10 to 12 year lifespan. Well maintained systems can last significantly longer.

How often should I replace my air conditioning system's filters?

In Phoenix's heavy air conditioning use, most systems require filter changes a minimum of 30 days. Larger format filter such as the REEIS Performance Filters can last as long as 6 months.

If you do not change your filters regularly, you will restrict air flow and allow dirt to infiltrate your HVAC system. Dirt is the enemy of your heating and air conditioning system. If interior components get dirty, the performance of the system is significantly impacted. Interior components such as coils and blower wheels are expensive to clean.
