The AC worked better after I cleaned the air filters

I bought a portable a/c system for the garage, and there was a sale at the hardware store on all of the AC units from the previous season and I snagged a portable a/c system for less than $400. The AC component is made for rooms up to 200 ft and the garages much less space… Even with all of the cracks and crevices and the space under the door, the AC component still does a pretty fine task of keeping the room nice and cold. I use the AC component all during July. I had a couple of projects that I inspected in the garage. I signed up my tool bench with the screwdrivers, wrenches, and hammers. I could feel the cold air from the AC behind me and it felt great. In July, the AC did not work as well. I was infuriated when the temperature inside of the garage was warm. The AC component was struggling to keep up with the temperature. I looked through the booklet for the equipment and I found out that there are air filters that needed to be cleaned. I had the equipment for a whole month and I never bothered to wipe any of the three air filters on the machine. Once I cleaned the air filters and got rid of the dust and dirt, the Machine worked like it was brand new, then now that I know there are air filters on the side of the AC unit, I will be sure to wipe them more frequently. I will actually get more longevity out of the equipment if I take care of it officially.
