Air conditioners are an amazing invention and one of the greatest achievements of modern technology. Air conditioning brings a comfort and environmental flexibility that has impacted people more than they realize. They provide you with a comfortable atmosphere where you can relax and unwind. For some, air conditioners might be a luxury; but in many places around the world, air conditioners are a necessity. Like every other machinery, air conditioners too, when repaired and maintained work longer and better.
Realizing the importance and expense of this equipment, All Systems HVAC wants you to know how you can cut down the costs and how you can make this machinery last a long time. An air conditioning system needs regular maintenance if it’s to perform at peak efficiency.
The simplest, easiest and the most important thing you can to do maintain your ACs is to clean the filter of the AC. AC filters gather up the dust particles in the atmosphere and provide you with a refreshing and cooling air. Some modern filters even filter out allergies like pollen and germs to purify the air.
The good news of cleaning your filter is that you can lower your AC unit’s electricity use by 5 percent to 15 percent, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. If your average electricity bill is $100 per month, you could save up to $7.50 by cleaning/changing your filter regularly. This adds up to saving $30 every quarter! Dirty or clogged air filters block airflow, increase resistance and reduce the AC system’s performance. This adds up to other damages in the system of the AC. This dirt can be carried further up into the evaporator and reduce coil’s ability to absorb heat and cool your home. If the filter is too dirty, it begins to become a source of air pollution itself. Not only do you save costs by cleaning filters but also save yourself from air pollution. When the AC works with the dirt in it, the air circulated is also dirty which gets in your lungs and badly affects your health.
Similarly, if you ignore changing and checking your system’s filters, you are likely to bear a loss of $200- 300. This is because with time, the damages caused by clogged dirt reduces efficiency and the system has to work harder to keep the air cool. Such a system is likely to break down and need frequent repairs. In the long run, you will have to replace it one day. Everyone knows how costly an AC unit is. So you need to make a choice, whether to save $7 every month on AC or spend $300 – 700 repairing and replacing one.
All Systems HVAC wants you to keep your air conditioning system alive for a long time. By spending a very few amount, you can save yourself from a huge loss. Air Conditioners might be expensive but the comfort they provide is invaluable and by regularly cleaning your filters you can save costs to a huge extent.
