Is Your Air Conditioning Filter
Important?
Is it time to change your air
conditioning filter again? Well it
doesn’t have to be very difficult,
as long as you know what to look for
in the filter you should be fine.
The important thing to look for in
an air conditioning filter is how
efficient they are and how much dust
it can stop.
Another very important job that your
air conditioner filter does is helps
to keep dust from collecting on the
evaporator coil of your air
conditioning system. It is located
inside the air handler and is one of
the four main components of any air
conditioning system. The air filter
is usually located somewhere just
before the evaporator coil.
Any dust that passes through the
filter ends up back in your living
space and can be very irritating to
allergy sufferers and anyone else
who is sensitive to dust.
The filter also prevents the
evaporator coil from becoming
clogged with dust and reducing the
efficiency of the equipment.
This evaporator coil is very similar
to the radiator in a car. Like your
car radiator, it will not be able to
do its job without proper airflow.
The reason I’m comparing it to a car
radiator is because most of us know
what a radiator does, but an
evaporator coil works to cool air as
it passes through.
It could take months or even years
for dust to accumulate in the fins
of the evaporator coil; it can even
form a layer of dust on the fins.
If your
air conditioner is serviced
regularly the technician will check
this and tell you when it needs to
be cleaned, if this is not done it
will lead to expensive repairs.
So the benefits of an efficient air
conditioner filter would not only be
cleaner air, but save you money
because the air conditioning will
perform at a higher efficiency
