Air conditioner is basically a cooling device that helps reducing the level of humidity in a particular room. These are an indispensable part of any home as these beautifully counteract the effect of biting heat. For the effective working of the appliance, each and every air conditioning unit is provided with the filters.
However, this appliance cleaning part of air conditioner needs maintenance and timely cleaning. Generally, frequent wear and tear of the filters make the overall cost of the appliance quite high. Here is a method one can use to make my air filters last a lot longer.
Turn off the air conditioning unit while cleaning the filter. Locate the ventilation duct where the filter is positioned. There are two types of air conditioning units depending upon the position of the filters. You can find them both on the walls or at the ceilings.
Just take out the hatch by opening of two screws on two latches on the top of the hatch where air filter is placed. Carefully pull out the filter from the duct, if it is placed on the ceiling. Filters placed on walls need not to be taken out.
Make use of a vacuum cleaner. Just plug in the hose and run the appliance on the air filter. You will be surprised how much dust one air filter can collect. After vacuuming the entire surface you should see a big difference in the appearance of your air filter. Instead of a dusty gray it should be a shade of blue and somewhat translucent.
After having cleaned the filter, it must be ensured the there is no dirt or the dust remaining on it. We should place the filter back at its place and screw the latches and the hatch properly.
In case we fail to care for the air conditioning filters as advised, we find that after some time that the appliance takes a lot more time in providing us the needed cool. It also eats into more electricity and thus adds to the electricity bill.
If timely cleaning of the device is ignored somehow, the compressor of the appliance may go off completely. Also, its replacement may cost you heavily.
