Your air conditioner (AC) can do several things––keep your Pennsylvania home’s indoor air cooler than outdoor temperatures, help to keep indoor airborne allergens at bay, and help keep your home’s humidity low. But one thing it can’t do is kill mold.

Today’s air conditioner (AC) is based on a prototype invented in 1902 by Willis Carrier, an engineer from Buffalo, New York. Unlike earlier forms of cooling, Carrier’s model controlled the temperature by removing heat and humidity from the air.

When you change out a dirty filter for a clean one, your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment use up to 15 percent less energy monthly, according to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

Taking care of your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment keeps it at top-rate efficiency. It starts with changing your HVAC air filter at least every 90 days. An air conditioning unit with a consistently clean filter uses up to 15 percent less energy, according to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

Be sure you take the time to perform basic maintenance regularly as well as invest in a professional AC tune-up at least once a year. According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), good maintenance can save money and reduce your energy usage.
