Most people do not know how important it is to change their AC&rsquo;s air filter regularly. This often leads to big problems down the road, as a dirty air filter can cause your AC to work less efficiently and can even lead to costly repairs.<\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p>Changing your air filter is easy and only takes a few minutes, but it is something that many people neglect. Make sure to add it to your regular air conditioner maintenance routine and you will save yourself time and money in the long run.<\/p>\n<p>In this post, we will look at the important reasons to change your AC filter regularly. To learn more or find out from our experts just how and how often you should be changing your AC filter, contact the experts at Galmiche &amp; Sons in St. Louis.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Top_Reasons_to_Change_Your_AC_Filter_Regularly\"><\/span>Top Reasons to Change Your AC Filter Regularly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here are the top reasons why you should change your AC air filter regularly:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Save money on energy bills<\/strong>: If your air conditioner&rsquo;s filter is dirty, it will have to work harder to circulate air, and as a result, will use more energy. A clean filter allows your AC unit to work less to cool your home, which reduces your energy consumption and costs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maximize cooling<\/strong>: Insufficient cooling is one of the commonly encountered problems with a clogged AC filter. A dirty filter prevents the flow of air, that not only impacts the level of cooling in your home but raises your energy bills.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prolong the lifespan of your AC unit<\/strong>: A dirty filter can cause your AC unit to short cycle. Short cycling refers to the AC shutting off and on more often than normal. When the filter is clogged, it restricts airflow, which causes the unit to work harder to circulate air. The extra strain can lead to overheating, and the unit will shut off to prevent damage. Once it cools down, the cycle starts all over again. Short cycling can damage the compressor, and the entire unit if the problem is not addressed in time.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/improve-indoor-air-quality-with-furnace-repair\/\">Improve indoor air quality<\/a><\/strong>: Dirty filters are one of the most common causes of poor indoor air quality. When your AC filter is dirty, it cannot effectively remove contaminants from the air, which leads to a build-up of dust, pollen, and other allergens in your home. This can cause respiratory problems, exacerbating allergies and asthma. If you have pets, dirty filters can also lead to pet dander and other pet-related allergies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Often_Should_You_Change_Your_AC_Filter\"><\/span>How Often Should You Change Your AC Filter?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/why-you-need-to-change-your-ac-filter-regularly-2-300x225.png\" alt=\"How &amp; When to Change Your AC Filter\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-11320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/why-you-need-to-change-your-ac-filter-regularly-2-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/why-you-need-to-change-your-ac-filter-regularly-2.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The frequency with which you need to replace your AC filter depends on a few factors, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The type of filter you have<\/li>\n<li>The level of dust and pollen in your area<\/li>\n<li>How often you use your AC<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As a general rule of thumb, you should replace your AC filter once every three months.
