At Champion Home Services, we try to reinforce the importance of regularly changing the air filter in your San Antonio air conditioning system. As CPS Energy says, air filters are the lungs of your AC units. A dirty air filter means your system is choking. That equals higher electric bills, poorer air quality and a shorter life span for your system.

But it goes beyond changing your filter every couple of weeks. Picking the right filter for your home is also important. In this video, Jennifer Broome and Ben Hubbert explain the different ratings for air filters and the costs associated with upgrading to a higher-quality filter for your home.
