About

Air conditioning filters are necessary for the constant successful running of your air conditioning machine. This is because without an air conditioning filter the inside part of your equipment will become full of dust particles sooner or later.
Most people believe that the filters are present to lower the dust in the conditioned space around the air conditioner but this is totally wrong. Air conditioning filters are used just to protect the indoor evaporator coil to form dust particles.
The filters should be changed in a few weeks if they are broken especially if the machine is being used daily or the surroundings are dusty.

Types of air conditioning filters
You can find numerous types of air filters and each are frequently fitted to their own brand of air conditioner especially in the small wall mounted split systems, as they do not have a regular size between brands. There are even different models in same brands and they are not interchangeable.

The new type of wall mounted indoor machine has a built-in filter which is molded in such a way that it slots into the front side of the machine and rounds over the top. It is usually made from synthetic material and has a core of mesh which at first glance does not seem fine enough to catch the dust. The air conditioning filter is made to use the airflow over the filter to create a tiny degree of static which will magnetize the dust particles. This kind of filter attached with the open fine spacing of the indoor evaporator coil offers all the necessary filtering for the efficient running of your air conditioner.

These filters should be checked for accumulation of dust depending on the usage approximately every 40 days for constantly used machines to every season for occasionally used units. This does depend on the surroundings and will become obvious with use over time.
Air conditioning filters are maybe the most important maintenance item in an air conditioning unit. If you keep your air conditioning filter clean then you can be sure you are doing the best you can to help the air conditioner provide the best performance.
