Living in a home with
an A/C unit that hasn’t had its filter changed in a long time is a hazard for a
variety of reasons. First of all, you aren’t able to filter the air that comes
into your home as easily, so you are running the risk of adding additional germs
and debris to the air in your home. On top of that, when your filters are old,
they are much less efficient. This means that your system has to work harder to
push air into your home, which requires it to use far more energy, driving up
your electricity bills over time. Not changing your filter regularly can also
reduce the life of your system, because it has to work harder than it was meant
to when it is running.
That being said, one
of the primary reasons that people wait to change their filter is because of
the cost of many AC air filters. This cost can be extremely high when you are
buying from the manufacturer, but that doesn’t have to be the case. It’s
possible to get inexpensive A/C filters that do the job, often better than the
filters that you would otherwise have to spend more money on!
