Talk about that Florida weather
Air Conditioning and how changing the air filter at home has become very important in our everyday lives, especially with the hot and humid weather Florida has to offer. Florida Climate Center.
Air Conditionings do more than just cool air!
It’s come to my attention that it is a huge misconception that air conditioning units are only used to cool the air we have in our homes. However, interestingly enough air conditioning units also have heating factors to them that warm up the air indoors during chilly weather.
What even is an air filter?
Now that sounds like a dream come true to me and it is, but at the same time I want to be breathing in cool, clean, fresh air and I’m sure you do too. This is why we have air filters; they are in place to keep nasty things like dust and grime out of the air we breathe.
When was the last time you checked your air filter?
Air filters do need to be replaced every so often, the time frame of when and how often depends on many factors. Now you’re probably asking yourself why changing the air filter at home is so important and I know it can be quite overlooked but it is very critical for multiple reasons.
Watch Out! A/C Units can fail and breakdown! Having your AC system fail in your house during a really bad heatwave is not a fun situation and I can tell you that from experience. It was a messy situation mixed with sweat, heat, and stress all because my air filter was clogged. Not changing the air filter at home will lead to it becoming clogged and that will create unwanted damage to your system. I learned the hard way that regular maintenance is a must to avoid these issues.
What does A/C have to do with fire?
Personally, I don’t like fires, and when you think about AC and fires, you would think that they have no relation to each other and you would be correct however, that is because of air filters. With air filters in place, they prevent objects of a larger scale getting into the system and causing a fire risk in your home.
Money! Money! Money!
Of course, money always plays a factor into everything and if I can save a pretty penny here and there, I will definitely go for saving it. Believe it or not, keeping your air filter clean will be saving you money off of that electricity bill. This is because a clean air filter doesn’t use nearly as much energy compared to an old dirty filter which can send your electricity bill way higher than it needs to be.
Don’t forget the environment!
The environment also benefits from changing our air filters. How? Well like I said earlier, dirty and clogged air filters require a lot more energy. With a lot more energy comes a lot more greenhouse gases which negatively impact our environment.
