Summer heatwaves are no joke, and your air conditioner is your first line of defense against rising temperatures. When your air conditioner is working overtime, how can you make sure it stays efficient and effective?
Our top tip for summer AC performance: Change your air filter regularly.
It may seem simple, but regularly replacing your air filter is the best thing you can do for your air conditioner this summer.
Why?
1. Better Airflow: A clogged filter restricts airflow, forcing your system to work harder and wear out faster.
2. Lower Energy Bills: A clean filter improves efficiency, which means your AC uses less energy to cool your home.
3. Improved Air Quality: Filters trap dust, pollen, and allergens—so a clean filter means cleaner air.
4. Longer Air Conditioner Lifespan: Reducing strain on your unit helps prevent breakdowns and extends its lifespan.
Change your filter every 1–3 months, depending on your system, filter type, and household factors (like pets or allergies). During peak summer use, check it monthly to make sure it isn’t dirty or clogged.
A quick check up now can catch small issues before they turn into big (and expensive) problems.
