What is the Function of an Air Conditioning Filter?
Air conditioning filters have a dual-purpose. They keep both the air and the unit’s component parts clean. If the filter is not cleaned or replaced regularly, the effectiveness of your air conditioner can be significantly reduced. A unit operating at a sub-optimal level requires more energy to perform its function. Additionally, poorly maintained filters diminish the lifespan of equipment and premature replacements create more waste. Taking some time to maintain your filters every month or two can go a long way for the environment and your wallet! BENEFITS for the Environment: Wasted energy means more pollution from energy processing. Top energy sources for the United States include natural gas, coal, and petroleum, many of which have been proven to both pollute the air and add greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere, which is considered one of the main causes of global warming. BENEFITS for Your Wallet: The more clogged your filters, the more energy is wasted in trying to blow air
