The filter of your air conditioning system does more than clean the air. The air filter blocks particles from ever entering into the central blower unit, which means debris cannot damage the system and force the parts to wear down faster.

This is because it is not always necessary to upgrade the thermostat when you replace the AC or heating system, since all thermostats work in a similar manner. When the temperature surpasses the setting on the thermostat, it sends a signal to the HVAC system to begin its cycle.
