Air filters trap contaminants like dust, pollen and pet dander that can affect indoor air quality. They’re also designed to trap bacteria and viruses that cause disease. Air filters can help improve indoor air quality by: - Reducing dust and other contaminants floating in the air - Protecting the cooling system from harmful bacteria and viruses - Increasing the efficiency of your cooling system - Reducing energy costs by reducing the amount of time the cooling system has to run - Extending the life of your cooling system by removing dirt and debris that could cause damage to the system’s components
You can change your air conditioning filter in two ways: - Manually: Unscrew the filter from the air conditioning unit and replace it with a new one. - Programmatically: Set up a timed filter change using a programmable controller.
There are several ways to tell when your air conditioning filter needs replacing. - How often you need to change your air conditioning filter will depend on the size of your home, the number of people living there and the climate in your area. - Your air conditioning filter should be changed every one to three months for maximum performance and effectiveness. - You can also check your filter’s efficiency by measuring the clean side with a wet cloth. If the cloth is dirty, it’s time to clean the filter.
The efficiency of your cooling system is determined by its cleanliness. If your air conditioning unit has been in use for a long time and is covered in dust and debris, it will have to run longer to cool your home. This will increase your energy bills and may also result in higher indoor temperatures. It’s recommended to replace your cooling system every 10 years. If you have a programmable cooling system, set it to turn off when the outdoor temperature reaches a certain point.
Air filters are an important part of maintaining good indoor air quality. They trap dust and other contaminants that can cause allergies and respiratory problems. An air conditioning filter traps these contaminants before they can reach the indoor air. By removing these contaminants, air filters also help to reduce energy costs and extend the life of your air conditioning system. There are two types of filters: air-side and liquid-side. Air-side filters are installed in the ductwork and help trap larger dust and other particles. Liquid-side filters are installed in the cooling unit and trap smaller contaminants like mold spores and bacteria. Air filters should be changed every one to three months for maximum performance and effectiveness. The frequency of filter changes will depend on the size of the home, the number of occupants, outdoor weather conditions and the type of air conditioning system in use.
