How often should AC filters be replaced?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent dust storm in Dubai, I noticed a strange odor lingering in the air even after cleaning everything. It’s coming from the bedroom where we keep the central AC unit. The filter hasn’t been replaced since last year; could that be the source of the problem? How often should I replace the filters to prevent this from happening again?

In dubAI, AC filters should be replaced every 3 to 6 months for optimal performance and air quality. However, given the dusty conditions we often experience here, i suggest you might want to consider changing them more frequently, maybe even quarterly or bi-annually during peak dust seasons like those pesky storms.
The recent dust storm in dubAI really highlights how important it is to keep your filters clean. Dust and particulates can accumulate on old filters, leading to a range of issues from reduced efficiency to the spread of unpleasant odors throughout your home. The odor you're experiencing could be due to these particles settling on the filter or even growing bacteria if moisture has been trapped. In dubAI's climate, it’s crucial to have a regular maintenance schedule for your HVAC system. Not only does this help prevent those annoying smells but also ensures that your AC unit operates efficiently and costs less over time by reducing wear and tear.
