When was the last time you changed your air conditioner’s air filter? The average home A/C air filter should be replaced once a month. Doing so not only provides your home with fresh, clean air, but also plays a very important role in keeping your A/C system working properly. A dirty filter can drastically reduce your system’s lifespan, cause damage requiring repairs, and have a big impact on energy efficiency. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, making sure to have clean filters in your home can save you around 5-15% on your energy bill.
