Proper maintenance can make your unit last for at least 12 to 15 years, says the Home Advisor and often includes replacing your filters every 90 days or so. If you lost track and you’re wondering if it’s time to put in a call to a replacement service for air conditioning filters in Fair Oaks Ranch, here are a few signs to watch out for:
Poor airflow
If there’s poor airflow, your filters might already be clogged with dust and dirt so cleaning it or replacing it ahead of the standard 90 days is a good move to make. However, you might want to check the air outlets of your AC unit too to see if these are working all right. Damage or problems with these outlets could also be the reason why there’s poor airflow. Also, the 90 days might not be true for all models so check your manufacturer’s manual to find out the ideal service time of filters for your AC model.
Dirty ducts
If there’s a buildup of dirt in the duct system, that’s a possible indication that your AC’s filter is already clogged and dirty. Look for a replacement service for air conditioning filters in Fair Oaks Ranch so you can have that filter replaced right away. Waiting too long before you call for help can aggravate the problem and lead to bigger repair costs so you’ll want to avoid that at all costs.
Allergies
If you’ve been suffering from allergic reactions, that could also be caused by a clogged air filter. If you observe the same symptoms in most—if not all—people in your family, then it’s high time you called for a pro to replace the filter. If there’s a dramatic improvement in the quality of your indoor air, then you know it was a dirty air filter at fault.
