Has your AC being acting weird off lately? Is it making strange noises? Or is it not cooling as you would expect it to? If you answered yes, then several things could be causing these problems. However, a problem area that often gets neglected when trying to find the fault with a malfunctioning AC is the air filter. Often, it is that air filter that is at fault.
A frequently overlooked part of an air conditioner, air filters are crucial for the efficient functioning of the AC. In addition to improving the home’s air quality by filtering out dust and pollen, air filters act as the first line of defense against the larger infiltrations such as the loose insulation bits that can enter the system and make it vulnerable to fire or damage.
