When was the last time you gave your air conditioner a little love?
Most homeowners don’t realize that regular AC maintenance isn’t just a suggestion β it’s the key to keeping your system running efficiently and avoiding those surprise breakdowns in the middle of summer.
π‘ The General Rule:
- Central AC filters should be replaced every 3 months.
- But if you have pets, kids, or allergies, change it every 2 months.
- And MiniSplit filters? They’re washable! You should clean them every 30 to 60 days, depending on how often you run your unit.
Neglecting this small task leads to dust buildup, restricted airflow, poor air quality, and even system failure.
π What Happens If You Don’t?
Imagine your lungs trying to breathe through a dirty cloth. Thatβs exactly how your AC feels when the filter is clogged. Dirty filters mean:
- β More strain on your system
- β Higher energy bills
- β Shorter equipment life
- β More allergens in the air
Even worse? Your warranty could be voided if regular maintenance isnβt done.
π§Ό What About Duct Cleaning?
If you notice your filters getting dirty too quickly, that might be a sign your air ducts are filled with dust, pet hair, or even mold. This is especially common in older homes or homes with multiple pets.
