Short transcript from a YouTube video discussing how dirt and dust in home HVAC systems cause most breakdowns. Speakers advise changing and checking filters, cleaning coils, and performing tune-ups because dust acts as an insulator that impedes heat transfer and can cause electrical arcing and component failure.
The main problem we see any season is dirt. Dirt is the biggest cause of most spray downs so it goes back to changing your filter, checking your filter make sure it's clean tuned up before the season starts because most of the breakdowns we go to are dirt related.
You know when we deal with integrated circuitry in the studio you can actually create a chain like a, like a wire almost a connection with dust. Right. It can just the electricity and you can arc something out and blow it something just because it was dirty.
Yeah because heating and air is all about heat transfer. So if you have dust, dirt or anything on that coil it's trying to transfer heat it is going to act as an insulator. It's going to prevent it from being as efficient as it usually is so therefore it's harder to cool or harder to heat and then it's going to have to work harder and things are going to go out. It.
