How often should you wash AC filters?

In Dubai's dusty weather, AC filters should be washed every 2 weeks to maintain air quality and optimize electrical efficiency.

Regular maintenance of your air conditioning unit is critical for preventing larger issues down the line. When filters are clogged with dust, the AC compressor has to work significantly harder to push cool air through the system. This not only spikes your electricity bill but can also lead to premature wear and tear on the unit's mechanical components.

The Process of Cleaning Filters

Cleaning your AC filters is a straightforward process that you can do yourself. Simply turn off the power to the unit, remove the front panel, and slide out the mesh filters. Wash them gently with lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Ensure they are completely dry before reinstalling them to prevent mold growth.

For a deep clean of the internal coils and drainage system, we recommend booking a professional servicing session every 4-6 months.
