Air Filtration
Contrary to popular belief, air conditioning actually improves the quality of the air in your home or other environment through the filtering process which takes place.
Studies show the quality of the air we breathe is deteriorating, especially in cities and towns. We are now breathing more chemical pollutants, pollens, dust, odors, viruses and bacteria than in the past.
Modern air conditioners are equipped with high quality filters that purify the air and:
- The mechanical or electrostatic filter retains dust, pollen and other bacteria.
- The activated carbon filter removes odors.
- The air conditioning filters also reduce moisture.
For these reasons, air conditioning is recommended for people who suffer from allergies or respiratory problems.
Maintenance of air conditioner filters
To ensure maximum efficiency of your air conditioning filters, regular maintenance is essential:
- The mechanical filter should be cleaned with soap and water every 2 weeks.
- The charcoal filter should be replaced 1-2 times per year depending on the use of your air conditioning.
- The vents should be cleaned on a regular basis by simple dusting.
These basic maintenance operations will ensure optimum operation of your air conditioning.
