If they haven't been changed in a while they could be restricting your unit's airflow, making your system work too hard to provide cool or warm air.

Monitor the air ducts and make sure they connecting junctions in you home.
Any holes or cracks can let excess air escape and force your unit to work harder to provide the desired temperature.
