When that dirt and dust bypass the filter, it can build up on that coal on the blow wheel on that motor and is having to work harder to overcome the buildup. As the components work harder, they fail faster, right? So the air filter is very, very important. You should be checking your filter every month. At least once a month you need to be checking your filter. And this time of year where it's hot outside and it's running a lot, every week or two I would give it a look, check it to make sure you're in a good spot because it's again something you can control.
