Should I replace AC filters more often?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, it's wise to consider the frequency of your AC filter replacements, especially given the recent dust storm. In Dubai and the UAE, we often see increased particulate matter during such events, which can really test an air conditioning system’s ability to clean the air effectively.

In my experience, standard HVAC filters in a 3-year-old unit should be replaced every three months or as per manufacturer recommendations. However, with the recent storm, you might want to step up your routine. I'd recommend replacing them more often now until things settle down. At least once a month for the next few months wouldn't hurt.

It's also worth considering that the air filters in the bedroom are particularly close to where your kids sleep, which puts their health at risk from potential dust and allergens. A quick glance after cleaning might not catch all the debris, so more frequent changes can help ensure the best indoor air quality for them.

But here’s a bit of an insider tip: professional inspections can uncover issues you may have missed, such as whether your current filters are capturing enough particulates or if there are other factors affecting air quality. In Dubai, regulations like those set forth by the Environmental Agency - Abu Dhabi (EAD) emphasize the importance of maintaining indoor air quality for public health.

Take care of yourself and your loved ones!
