Dirty air filters can reduce the efficiency of the AC unit and increase energy consumption, resulting in higher utility bills. Moreover, dirty air filters can cause the AC unit to overwork, leading to premature breakdowns and costly repairs. Clean air filters improve indoor air quality and prevent the accumulation of dust, dirt, and other contaminants in the AC unit, leading to improved performance and longer lifespan. Therefore, it is essential to replace air filters every 30 days to ensure the AC unit runs efficiently, saves energy, and provides clean and comfortable indoor air.

If the air filter is too small, it may not fit properly in the filter housing, leaving gaps and spaces for unfiltered air to pass through. This means the dirty air is going around the filter leading to reduced efficiency of the AC unit, as it will have to work harder to circulate air through the filter, resulting in increased energy consumption and higher utility bills.

On the other hand, if the air filter is too big, it may not fit in the filter housing at all, causing air leaks and reducing the effectiveness of the filter. The AC unit may also have to work harder to draw air through the filter, leading to increased wear and tear and potential breakdowns. Additionally, the air filter may become damaged or warped due to the pressure of being forced into a filter housing that is too small.

Moreover, incorrect sizing of the air filter can result in reduced indoor air quality, as the filter may not effectively capture and remove allergens, dust, and other airborne contaminants. This can lead to health problems for people with allergies, asthma, or respiratory issues.

A clogged AC drain is a problem because it can cause water to back up and leak into your home, leading to water damage and mold growth.

When an air conditioner operates, it removes moisture from the air through condensation. The water that is produced then travels through a drain line and is directed outside of the house. However, if the drain line becomes clogged with dirt, debris, or algae, water can back up and overflow from the drip pan, causing water damage to your walls, ceilings, and floors.

In addition to causing water damage, a clogged AC drain can also promote the growth of mold and mildew. The moist and humid environment created by a clogged drain provides an ideal breeding ground for mold and mildew. These microorganisms can cause health problems, such as allergies, respiratory issues, and other illnesses.

Furthermore, a clogged AC drain can also reduce the efficiency of your air conditioner. The blockage can cause the system to work harder to remove moisture from the air, leading to increased energy consumption and higher utility bills.

How do you know if you have purchased the correct filter? This is a costly mistake. If you have installed the wrong filter or have forgotten to replace the filter the HVAC repair bill might be sent to you.
