Since air filters are designed to trap dirt, dust, hair, and other contaminants, running an air conditioner without a filter can have a negative impact on indoor air quality and can aggravate allergies or affect the health of you and your family. If you don't use an air filter or have an old, dirty one in your air conditioner, debris such as dust and hair can accumulate in your unit. This can cause significant damage to your air conditioning system, clogging parts and preventing them from working properly. In addition, all the build-up of dust and dirt can restrict airflow and cause the air conditioner to overheat and shut off.
It could even cause permanent damage to the engine, which means you'd have to replace it. To keep your air conditioner in good condition and make it last as long as possible, it's essential to use an air filter and change it regularly. If you don't change the air filter, it can quickly become clogged with dust and debris, preventing proper air filtration. This causes a variety of problems in your HVAC system, such as system inefficiency, increased energy bills, inadequate air quality, and faults.
The body needs clean, fresh air to function properly, especially when it comes to the immune system. Dirty air filters can weaken the immune system and make it harder for the body to fight viruses. Commercial and residential cooling and heating systems need a filter to remove impurities before they absorb indoor air into the system and return it to areas that are supposed to heat or cool. Dust and debris trapped in it will recirculate in your home, leading to lower air quality than desirable.
Because your air conditioning system depends on a filter to remove impurities before indoor air enters the system and re-enters the room, you need the filtration system to be clean and efficient so that hot or cold air can make your commercial space or home comfortable. Research has shown that the air in many homes and commercial spaces is more polluted than the outdoor environment. You may also feel more exhausted and fatigued than usual if you spend too much time in an environment with dirty air. The ventilation grille that draws air has a filter, which is the only thing that stands between the clean air entering the unit and the dirt and debris that was in the air before it was vacuumed.
Your HVAC system works hard to meet your home's cooling and heating demands, but when it has to work with a clogged air filter, its efficiency decreases. When comparing costs, it's definitely cheaper to invest in a pair of air filters on a regular basis than to pay for a completely new system. All the extra work involved in circulating clean air through dirty filters will end up putting pressure on air conditioner parts, which could cause them to break down more quickly. Even if the air conditioning system works without a filter, experts recommend that you do not use it because it can cause serious damage to the system and you will have to pay for expensive repairs.
