Learning the importance of air filters

The added strain on components increased the risk of malfunction

I lived in a school dormitory and then rented apartments for the first years of our adult life. I had no housekeeping responsibilities. I didn’t worry about roofs leaking, utility bills or faulty appliances. There was constantly a service department that I could call to fix a problem. Heating, cooling and all the energy expenses were included in the rent. When I purchased our first home, I was totally unprepared for the several tasks involved with taking care of the property. I didn’t own a turf mower, vacuum cleaner, wheelbarrow or a ladder. I called a plumber when there was insufficient water pressure only to learn how to clean an aerator. I called an electrician when there was no power in the living room and was shown how to flip the switch on the breaker box. I hired an HVAC company when the cooling system couldn’t cool down the condo and l earned about the importance of replacing the air filters. The specialist dislinkd the outer lodgeet of the outdoor component and showed me the inner workings of the cooling system. There was algae thriving in the condensate drain and mold growing on the cooling coil. The specialist explained that the air filter in the cooling system and heating system aren’t designed to protect indoor air quality. They are intended as a level of defense against contaminants getting inside the method and causing havoc. He said that the buildup of toxins and debris within the cooling method was restricting airflow and causing our complaints with discomfort. This was leading to longer run times, greater energy United Statesge and higher utility bills. The added strain on components increased the risk of malfunction. Plus, every time the cooling system started up, those allergens were possibly becoming airborne and getting spread throughout the house. I am still studying however am trying to be conscientious about household upkeep.
