How to Clean Ducted Aircon Filters
Having clean ducted air conditioner filters will ensure your air conditioner performs at its best. If you are
planning on cleaning your air filters by yourself and wondering how to clean ducted air conditioner filters,
here are a few tips and considerations first:
CLEANING DUCTED AIR CONDITIONER FILTERS – KEEPING YOUR DUCTED AIRCON FILTER CLEAN IS CRUCIAL
In your home, air conditioners circulate fresh air, and the air filters trap dirt, pollutant, and debris. Due to
frequent usage, the filter gets clogged by dirt and debris, which would otherwise be circulated in your room.
As a result of clogged filters, the air conditioner must work harder to pump air. This increases energy
consumption and reduces the lifespan of the air conditioning unit. It also affects your home’s indoor air
quality and leads to respiratory illness, skin disease, and more. Whereas cleaning your ducted air conditioner
filter prevents it from getting clogged while maintaining quality indoor air and improving system efficiency.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU CLEAN AIR CONDITIONER FILTER?
We recommend a replacement of air conditioning filter at least once per year. Replacing your aircon filter is
much quicker, and more reliable than cleaning. If you are cleaning your filters it is recommended by most
manufactures to clean their filters twice per month. But replacing with a fresh, new AirClean filter requires no
cleaning, just a quick replacement once every 12 months.
TIPS FOR DUCTED AIR CONDITIONING FILTER CLEANING
Wondering how to keep your ducted air con filters clean? There are a lot of steps required to thoroughly clean
