Different Types of Aircon Filters

Not all air conditioner filters work the same way and selecting the right one can have a major impact on your home's air quality and your system’s efficiency. A high-quality filter not only removes airborne contaminants but also helps your air conditioner run smoothly and effectively.

At Metropolitan Heating and Cooling, our skilled technicians understand the differences between various filter types and can help you choose the best option for your needs. Here’s a look at some common AC filters:

HEPA filters: High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters capture dust, mould, bacteria, and allergens, making them ideal for those with respiratory conditions. Typically installed in ducted systems, these filters require replacement every few years.
UV filters: Using ultraviolet light to kill bacteria, viruses, and mould spores, UV filters help disinfect the air but don’t trap dust or allergens. The UV lamp needs to be replaced annually for optimal performance.
Electrostatic filters: These reusable filters generate static electricity to attract airborne particles. While they help reduce allergens, they aren’t as effective at capturing larger pollutants, making them less suitable for asthma sufferers.
Washable filters: An eco-friendly choice, these filters can be cleaned and reused. However, they offer limited air purification, making them better suited for homes where air quality isn't a primary concern.
Spun glass filters: A budget-friendly option, spun glass filters provide basic protection but don’t effectively capture fine particles. They clog easily and can reduce system efficiency if not replaced frequently.
Pleated filters: Made of cotton or polyester, pleated filters capture more debris than spun glass options. However, their dense design may restrict airflow, potentially making your air conditioner work harder.

Choosing the right filter can make a significant difference in your indoor air quality and energy efficiency. Let Metropolitan Heating and Cooling help you find the best solution for a cleaner, healthier home.

How Much Do AC Filters Matter?

Keeping your air conditioner filters clean is essential for maintaining their ability to trap airborne pollutants and keep your home's air fresh. These filters work to capture dust, bacteria, mould spores, and even viruses, helping to create a healthier indoor environment.

Over time, however, filters become clogged with trapped particles, reducing their effectiveness. When this happens, contaminants can circulate back into your home, which can be particularly harmful to those with asthma, allergies, or respiratory conditions.

Even if you don’t have specific health concerns, poor indoor air quality can lead to discomfort and reduced well-being.

Dirty filters don’t just impact air quality − they also restrict airflow, forcing your air conditioner to work harder. This added strain can lead to increased wear and tear on your system, resulting in more frequent breakdowns. Plus, an overworked unit consumes more energy, which means higher electricity bills.

By regularly cleaning or replacing your air filters, you’ll improve air quality, boost energy efficiency, and extend the lifespan of your air conditioner. With clean filters, you can enjoy a healthier, more comfortable home while keeping running costs under control.

FAQs: All You Need to Know About AC Filters

Do you have any questions about air conditioner filters? Keep reading for the answers.

What is the purpose of air conditioner filters?

Air conditioner filters are essential for maintaining clean indoor air by capturing airborne particles such as dust, pollen, and bacteria. By filtering out these contaminants, they help create a healthier home environment and reduce allergens that can trigger respiratory issues.

Why does choosing the right AC filter matter?

Selecting the right air filter ensures:

Better air quality: High-efficiency filters trap dust, allergens, and pollutants, keeping the air in your home cleaner.
System longevity: Filters prevent dirt and debris from entering your HVAC system, reducing wear and extending its lifespan.
Lower costs: A clean, well-maintained filter helps your AC run more efficiently, cutting down on energy use and long-term maintenance expenses.

What happens if you run your AC without a filter?

Operating an air conditioner without a filter can cause serious issues. Without a barrier to trap dust and pollutants, airborne contaminants will circulate freely in your home, reducing air quality − especially problematic for allergy or asthma sufferers. Additionally, dirt can accumulate on the evaporator coils, restricting airflow, lowering efficiency, and potentially leading to expensive repairs.

How often should you change your air filter?

The replacement schedule depends on factors like filter type, usage, and whether you have pets. As a general rule, filters should be checked regularly and replaced as needed.

To ensure your system remains efficient, schedule an annual air conditioner service with Metropolitan Heating and Cooling. Our technicians will assess your filters and recommend the best maintenance plan to keep your AC running at its best.
