Is Your Air Conditioning Filter Important?

Are you among the people who see and use Air conditioners merely as Heaters and Coolers without realizing that an air conditioner is equally an air filter or purifier? Yes, this could militate against proper care for the air filter in your air conditioning system resulting in dirty filters and impure indoor air.

Without a clean air filter in your air conditioner, all the other parts would not produce a clean indoor air for you. You need to regularly replace the air filter of your air conditioner depending on the air quality of your immediate and indoor environment.

If your air conditioner's air filter isn't kept clean, aside from stirring up impure air into your home, it will work laboriously consuming more energy and costing you more than a well maintained air conditioner should, and you will not get adequate heating and cooling.

Change your home air conditioner's filter, at the least, every two months to be on the save side. For industrial or commercial air conditioners, changing of air filter should be based on the type of work environment, but it is common practice to check commercial or industrial air conditioner's air filter every fortnight, and make replacement if found dirty.

When selecting your air conditioner, check for its MEWRV ratings - Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value of 1-12. Higher rating means ability to remove such air pollutants as animal dander, dust, mold, pollen and several other allergens measuring as small as 3 - 10 microns in sizes.

In most homes and small businesses are found air conditioners fitted with the conventional fiberglass disposable filters of between 1" and ". Fiberglass disposable filters are usually coated with adhesive that traps air pollutants; so whenever all of the adhesive face of the filter is covered in dust, it is time to dispose it and put a fresh air filter for your air conditioner.
