Replacing or cleaning the air filter in your home’s HVAC system is the most important maintenance job you need to do during the year. (Most of the other maintenance jobs are ones professionals handle during spring and fall inspections and tune-ups.) We previously blogged about how often you need to change the filter, but in this post we’d like closer examine the air filter itself and the job it does.

A Few Important Facts about Your HVAC System’s Filter
Tuesday, June 6th, 2017Fairfax, VA Air Conditioning: Benefits of Cleaning Your AC
Monday, June 5th, 2017The importance of keeping your AC clean from the negative effects of dust and debris can hardly be overstated. Your AC is a complex machine with various components that make up the refrigerant cycle. Considering how much you have come to depend on its operation, it’s no wonder that maintenance is so important. In today’s post, we’d like to look at some of the benefits of having your AC maintained by a professional. Call OASIS Heating, Air Conditioning & Refrigeration, Inc. today for excellent Fairfax, VA air conditioning services, including maintenance.
- Performance: Put simply, you need your AC to perform well every day during the cooling season. On those really hot and humid days, you’ll need it to operate for hours on end. Over time, your system endures a lot of wear and tear, and much of that comes in the form of dust and debris accumulating on sensitive mechanical components and coils. This disrupts the ability of your AC to perform well.
- Energy efficiency: Cleaning also improves the energy efficiency of your AC. While we can’t control the cost of energy, we can control how we use it. But your AC cannot be efficient the blower motor is caked in dust, or the condenser coils are caked in organic debris like leaves and twigs. You don’t want to have to pay for more cooling than you’re getting.
- System lifespan: An AC is a major investment, and keeping your system clean is part of protecting your investment. Cleaning is not cosmetic, but directly related with the performance, energy efficiency, and, ultimately, system longevity of your AC. You can’t expect your AC to last as long as it should, if it is not kept clean.
