Though clogged air filters are one of the most common problems affecting the functionality of air conditioner systems, the filter is usually the most ignored item of your HVAC system, that in fact needs the most attention. Dirty air filters cause your AC to operate at a lower efficiency which means it does not cool your house as well as it should, and can end up costing you more money in the long run.
So, what are the potential problems caused by a dirty AC filter and how can you provide a quick fix to get your system back up and running the way it should? Find out some of the most common problems below and actions you can take now to remedy them before they turn into bigger issues.
If the problems you are experiencing are caused by a dirty air filter, the good news is that there are simple solutions you can try before calling in a professional.
To clean your air filter, you can simply take the filter out of your furnace, remove the dirt and thoroughly clean the filter by running it under warm water. After letting the filter dry thoroughly, you can reinstall it to the system. If you are still experiencing problems, it may be time to purchase a new filter as a replacement.
