Changing the filter in your heating and air conditioning system doesn’t qualify as an emergency BUT could definitely prevent one.
A dirty air filter restricts air flow, wastes energy by requiring your heating and cooling systems to work harder and also allows dirt into the system, which wears out parts and could hasten a breakdown. If Murphy’s Law holds true, the system will breakdown during a particularly severe heat wave – and that’s an emergency!
Be sure to change the filters throughout the summer and winter for your central air conditioner. The same filter works for both the heating and cooling systems.
Check it monthly and replace it when it looks dirty – or clean it, if it is a reusable filter. For optimum results, you should change or clean the filter at least every 3 months.
