Expert Heating and Cooling Filter Services

Your air conditioner filters play an important role in optimising the air quality of your home by removing airborne contaminants such as dust particles, dirt, smoke, pet dander and pollen. When it comes to keeping your split system or ducted air conditioning filter clean, you need a professional who will clean it thoroughly to ensure optimal performance.

The team of heating and cooling experts at Metropolitan Air Conditioning can provide you with high-quality air filter services. From installation to replacement and cleaning, we have the necessary hands-on industry experience to ensure your air con filters are in top condition. This means your home will see the air quality improve, and your HVAC system will enjoy greater efficiency.

Types of Air Filters

It's important that we note here that not all filters are made equal. Your choice of air conditioner filter can make a big difference to the quality of the air in your home. Here at Metropolitan, we are familiar with all types of air filters. Among them are:

HEPA Filters

A High Efficiency Particulate Air filter, or HEPA filter, is placed on the return air grille panel of ducted air conditioning systems. They are widely considered to be one of the most effective filters for improving air quality.

HEPA filters can purify your air from mould, bacteria, dust and more. This makes them a great option for people who suffer from respiratory problems or allergies.

In a residential setting, you will need to replace them every few years; possibly even more frequently if you use your air con a lot.

UV Filters

As the name indicates, UV filters use ultraviolet light to kill bacteria, viruses and mould spores. They use a UV lamp set to a germicidal wavelength to very effectively purify your HVAC air by destroying harmful microorganisms.

Though they are highly effective at dealing with these airborne contaminants, UV filters aren't useful for removing common allergens like dust. They're also significantly more expensive to install. The UV radiation that they use can also react with oxygen to produce ozone which can be hazardous. They're often found in combination with HEPA filters to form a large and very effective filtration system.

Depending on the brand and model of UV filter that you use, the lamps typically need replacing every 12 months.

Electrostatic Filters

and other particles. These are great options for those who want to combat airborne allergens more cost-effectively.

Electrostatic air filters are available in reusable or disposable options, giving you the option to wash or replace them when they need changing. Compared to other filters, however, electrostatic filters are not as effective at removing larger pollutants and may not be effective enough for asthma sufferers.

Washable Filters

If you’re seeking a more environmentally conscious option, washable air filters are a great way to go. The material allows you to simply wash the filter and reuse it time and time again.

Though they’re not as effective as other filter options, washable filters are great for homes where air quality is less of a concern. To keep reusing these filters, you need to follow the instructions so they continue to work as intended.

Spun Glass Filters

Spun glass filters are one of the most common aircon filters on the market. They are cost-effective, readily available, and used in many air conditioners.

It’s worth noting, however, that spun glass filters aren't the most effective at removing contaminants from the air. They can quickly become clogged which can negatively impact the airflow and efficiency of your air con system.

Pleated Filters

Pleated filters are available in cotton or polyester options. They’re exceptional at capturing debris but less capable of providing air filtration. They're also great for dampening the sound of your air con!

The nature of pleated filters, however, means that your air conditioner is forced to work harder to pull air through the unit and so can make it less efficient.

Pleated air filters are at the more affordable end of the price range. They’re a good option for people concerned about the quality of air in their homes, but who don't suffer any major respiratory illnesses. You can find reusable and disposable pleated filters too.

Importance of Clean Air Conditioning Filters

There are many reasons to keep your air conditioning filters clean. The first and most obvious reason is to ensure remains capable of effectively filtering the air.

An air conditioning filter traps airborne impurities in the unit and prevents them from spreading throughout your home. Depending on the type of filter, they can stop dust and pollution, and even bacteria, mould spores and viruses from entering your home.

Over time, these impurities accumulate in your filter and reduce its efficiency. This results in the contaminants now freely entering the air in your home. This is bad news - not only for those with asthma or allergy sufferers but can also affect people with no respiratory issues.

Protect the Performance Of Your Air Con System

This build-up can not only make you sick, but it can also restrict airflow from your air con system. Diminished airflow means the system now needs to work harder to perform the same task it once did with ease. This is bad for you in a couple of ways.

Firstly, the parts and components in your air conditioner will wear out more quickly. This means you'll need repairs to your air conditioning system sooner than if the air filter was clean. Secondly, a harder-working air con requires extra energy to power it. This means you'll be paying more when the next energy bill comes around!

So for the sake of your health, the efficiency of your air con system, and your wallet, be sure to keep your air conditioning filters clean. A fully qualified heating and cooling specialist from Metropolitan Air Conditioning can do more than just clean your air filters - we’ll keep them in perfect working condition.

How to Clean A Ducted Air Conditioner Filter

Depending on how frequently you want to clean your air filters, you might want to just vacuum clean your ducted air conditioner filters now and then. Though it is a less effective method than having a professional air filter service, this can still help to improve its performance.

You can find the ducted air conditioner filter at the return air grille. Once you've removed the filter from the frame here you can slide it out of the frame. Different air filters require different cleaning methods, so there is no one way to clean them.

While a DIY air filter wash might provide you with some short-term results, you need a regular professional service to make your filters go the mile. You need an air conditioner filter specialist from Metropolitan for an air filter service that will keep your home's air quality healthy, as well as save you money in the long term with running costs.

Finance Options** Air Conditioner Filters

Living in Australia, we've come to rely on using our air conditioners to keep us comfortable during the summer and winter months. With the heat waves only getting longer, and winters getting colder, we're only going to rely on them more and more.

Air Conditioner Filter FAQ

Your air conditioner filter's primary function is to remove impurities in the air like dust and bacteria that can negatively impact your health.

Running your AC without a filter will result in bringing more airborne into your home and into the unit itself. This will impact your home's air quality which can lead to worse symptoms for allergy sufferers and asthmatics. A build-up of dust and grime on your air conditioning unit will restrict flow over the evaporator coils which reduces its ability to cool air.

The frequency at which you need to change the filter in your air conditioner will vary depending on many factors including the type of filter, how frequently you use your air con, if you have pets and more. When you have your air conditioner serviced annually, your heating and cooling specialist will be able to recommend how often you should change your air conditioner filter.
