Changing your air filter will keep your central air conditioning running smooth just like it is supposed to. If you don’t change your air filter eventually dust and allergans will build up on it, and eventually enough dust to restrict the air flow going into the coils. This is not good for the central air conditioner nor is it good for your power bill, most of all it’s not going to keep your house cool. If enough dust builds up it could even freeze the Freon lines from the coils to the outside condenser.
If you find that your coils and Freon piping is frozen due to a dirty filter all you have to do is turn the AC thermostat to the “off” position. Then turn the fan on the thermostat from “auto” to the “fan” position. This will speed up the process of the coils and the piping to defrost, it will also help keep the ice from leaking onto the floor. The frozen coils and piping usually take about an hour or so to defrost depending on what the inside and outside temperature is. While you are waiting for the unit to defrost drive your ass up to the store and buy a new air filter.
The Reason you need an air filter
The air filter filters out all the crap you don’t want to breath in, pollens and dust and stuff, so if you’re running you central air conditioner without an air filter installed your just making the air in the house worse. Not only are you breathing in more pollens and dust you are dirtying up your coils, dirtying your coils will make your unit work harder than it needs to and again, it will run up you’re power bill and the home will be less cool. So make sure you always have an air filter installed so you not making your central air conditioning work too hard ok?
