We discussed how important it is to keep a fresh air filter in a forced air heating system a few months back. Because changing the air filter in a forced air system is one of the most important steps that homeowners can handle themselves in terms of system maintenance, we want to use today’s post to discuss how doing so can benefit your central AC system, too. Summer is upon us, and you should take any available measures to get the most from your AC.
Changing the air filter is quite simple—in most systems, there will even be arrows or other markings to match up with the filter which will show you how to face it! Just because it is simple and just because replacement filters of this kind are cheap does not mean that changing the air filter is any less vital, though. Sometimes, those “minor” steps can really be deceiving in terms of importance. So here’s how a dirty filter can compromise your air conditioning in Ankeny, IA.
It’s getting late in the summer season, and before long we are going to be turning to our heaters, and not our air conditioners, in our efforts to live comfortably. That doesn’t mean that we’re out of the cooling season just yet, though, or that it is too late to impart some AC-related wisdom upon our readers. Today we want to talk about some very important components of the air conditioner — the coils — and why it is so important to keep them clean.
