One of the most important maintenance tasks for a heating/cooling system is a regular change of air filter. As the blower draws air out of your apartment, the air comes with some dust and debris. The air filter removes them, and filtered air gets into the system.
As time goes by, the air filter will be overwhelmed with dust, and it will no longer be able to filter the air. As such, dust will gradually find its way into your living space. Here are some of the issues associated with clogged air filters.
When the air filter is clogged, the blower fan will have to work harder to pull in the air in your home, thereby consuming more power than necessary. According to the Department of Energy, this could lead to a 15% increase in your monthly energy consumption. It does not end there. As the buildup of dust increases, the system’s blower fan will work even harder, and the power consumption will continue to increase further.
When your system’s blower fan begins to work harder than it should, the rate of wear and tear will increase drastically, shortening the lifespan of the entire system. And if the air filter is not changed, it could lead to the collapse of the entire system.
A clogged air filter usually impacts the overall performance of your heating/cooling system negatively. In spite of its increased energy consumption, its output will become lower. The system will no longer cool your home as it used to, and heating won’t be effective either. In addition, it may be a little noisier.
The air quality in your home will begin to drop because the clogged air filter will no longer be able to filter dust and debris. And the dust will eventually find its way into your living space, jeopardizing the air quality in your home. It is even more dangerous if you have pets, toddlers, elderly ones, or people with asthma or other respiratory conditions in your home.
To avoid all the problems listed above, we will advise you to get the air filters of your HVAC system changed at least once in three months. At Blessed Electric & Air, changing of clogged air filters is part of our HVAC maintenance services. And our charges are moderate.
