Maybe you've heard the old saying, "For lack of a horseshoe the horse was lost, for lack of a horse, the rider was lost, for lack of a rider the battle was lost."
We see something like this as we service AC systems in New Hampshire. People often end up losing their AC system--or incur needless, expensive repairs--simply because they overlooked the small things.
So what's the "horseshoe" for your AC system? It's the filter! You should change your AC filter every one to two months (depending on usage). Otherwise, your system begins to "run dirty," and this has several negative results. You breathe dirtier air. Your energy bill is higher (because your system has to work harder to push air through the dirty filter). And over time, running with a dirty filter can lead to more repairs and even shorten the life of your equipment.
Remember: "For lack of a clean filter the AC was lost."
(NOTE: You might not hear this advice from some AC contractors--because it's not always in their interest to tell you. But it is in your interest to hear it!)
