When dirty A/C filters and Furnace Filters are left in a system they begin to restrict air flow, restricted air flow means your system is going to work harder to push the same amount of air. This can cause damage to your system and also raise your utility bills. The harder your HVAC unit has to work, the more energy it eats away. Filters should really be changed out monthly, especially during the summer and winter months when the HVAC unit has a heavy workload.

Controlling Biological Pollutants by Changing Your A/C Filters or Furnace Filters

Biological contaminants include bacteria, molds, mildew, viruses, animal dander and cat saliva, house dust, mites, cockroaches, and pollen. There are many sources of these pollutants. Pollens originate from plants; viruses are transmitted by people and animals; bacteria are carried by people, animals, and soil and plant debris; and household pets are sources of saliva and animal dander. The protein in urine from rats and mice is a potent allergen. When it dries, it can become airborne. Contaminated central air handling systems can become breeding grounds for mold, mildew, and other sources of biological contaminants and can then distribute these contaminants through the home. Change your furnace filters regularly to maintain a healthy home!

Replace Your Dirty A/C or Furnace Filters

The filter in your A/C or furnace serves more than just one purpose. They clean the air that circulates throughout your home. They control dust particles in the air. The higher end filters can even control allergens, In fact, most homeowners overlook the fact that a higher end filter helps keep the Evaporator Coil cleaner. What they do not realize, is the dirt that the furnace filter does not trap is now being caught by the Evaporator Coil which typically sits on top of the furnace and in turn will eventually lessen the air flow and shorten the life of both the A/C unit and the furnace. Having the Evaporator Coil removed and cleaned may cost up to $400. Maintaining a clean filter allows your components to operate at maximum efficiently. We highly recommend that you check your A/C or furnace filters monthly to ensure a clean safe haven for your family.

What is a Merv rating?

Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value, or MERV for short, is a filter rating system 
devised by the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air conditioning 
Engineers (ASHRAE) to standardize and simplify filter efficiency ratings for 
the public. The higher the MERV rating, the higher  the efficiency of  the filter. 
Simply stated, a MERV 8 filter will remove 
smaller particles from the air than a MERV 3 filter. 
Be sure to check what MERV rating your furnace filters are what is best for your home.

A/C Filters 4 Less reminds consumers to schedule an air conditioning unit tune-up prior to reaching the hot summer months.

With summer fast approaching and temperatures on the rise, many home owners forget to schedule an air conditioning tune up. To keep your home cool during the summer, the HVAC unit needs to be running efficiently. A/C Filters 4 Less wants to remind consumers to have their air conditioning unit serviced and replace a/c filters to avoid a breakdown during the hottest time of the year.

Annual air conditioning check-ups in the spring and furnace check-ups in the fall can help to detect any small problems that may have arisen. Although regular checkups will not absolutely guarantee that a unit will work perfectly throughout the season, they will reveal small problems that can lead to major, more expensive problems in the future.
“There is nothing worse than a 90 degree day and no air conditioning in your home. We hear of these problems each year and want to help our customers avoid a meltdown.”, states Mark Platt, owner. A/C Filters 4 Less has some basic tips to follow along with your tune-up.

Run the air conditioner for a few minutes before it is needed. Waiting until a hot day can leave you hot and very unhappy.
Change a/c filters and furnace filters regularly. Dirty filters restrict air flow, reducing efficiency and can eventually cause the evaporator to ice up.
Be sure all access panels are secure, with all screws in place.
Clean obstructions such as leaves, branches, etc. from around the exterior unit.
Be sure to set the thermostat on cooling mode. Just setting the dial below room temperature will not activate the air conditioning if it set to heat mode.
