Your air conditioner filters are essential for capturing airborne particles and maintaining healthy indoor air quality.

Over time, these filters can become clogged with dust, allergens and other pollutants, which affects both air quality and the efficiency of your unit. When it's time to clean or replace the filters in your split system or ducted air conditioner, the experts at Upside Down are here to help.

We handle air filter cleaning and replacement for all air conditioner brands, ensuring your system operates at its best. By maintaining clean filters, you’ll enjoy fresher air throughout your home and a more energy-efficient heating and cooling system.

Not all air conditioner filters are created equal, and the type you choose can have a significant impact on your home’s air quality. At Upside Down, our technicians are well-versed in handling all kinds of air conditioner filters, ensuring your system runs efficiently while keeping your air clean.

Here are some of the common AC filter types:

• HEPA filters – High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters are often installed in the return air grilles of ducted systems. They are highly effective at removing mould, bacteria, dust, and other contaminants. This makes them an excellent choice for individuals with respiratory conditions or allergies. HEPA filters typically need replacing every few years in residential settings.
• UV filters – Ultraviolet (UV) filters use UV light to destroy bacteria, viruses, and mould spores in your heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Though effective at eliminating harmful microorganisms, UV filters do not remove common allergens like dust. They also come with higher installation costs and require UV lamp replacements every 12 months, depending on the model.
• Electrostatic filters – These filters use a combination of paper and cotton fibres that generate a static charge to trap airborne particles. Electrostatic filters are cost-effective and reusable, making them a good option for allergen control. However, they are less efficient at capturing larger pollutants, making them less suitable for individuals with asthma.
• Washable filters – Ideal for the environmentally conscious, washable filters can be reused after cleaning. Though they are less effective at purifying the air compared to other types, they are suitable for homes where air quality is not a major concern. Proper care is needed to ensure continued effectiveness.
• Spun glass filters – These inexpensive filters are commonly found in many air conditioning units. While affordable and easy to find, spun glass filters are not particularly effective at removing contaminants and can quickly become clogged, potentially affecting your system’s efficiency.
• Pleated filters – Made from cotton or polyester, pleated filters excel at capturing debris but offer less air filtration compared to other options. They can also muffle the sound of your AC, though their design means your system may need to work harder to maintain airflow, reducing its overall efficiency.

There are many important reasons to keep your air conditioner filters clean, with the most obvious being to ensure they are effectively filtering the air. Air conditioner filters are designed to trap airborne contaminants, preventing them from circulating throughout your home.

Depending on the type of filter, they can capture dust, pollutants, bacteria, mould spores and even viruses, helping to maintain a healthier living environment.

However, over time, these particles build up on the filter, diminishing its effectiveness. Once clogged, the contaminants that were previously being blocked can now freely enter your home’s air. This can be particularly harmful for individuals with asthma or allergies, but it can also negatively impact the health of anyone in the household, even those without respiratory issues.

In addition to affecting air quality, a dirty filter restricts airflow, forcing your air conditioner to work harder than necessary. This has two major drawbacks: first, the increased strain on your system can lead to parts wearing out faster, resulting in more frequent repairs.

Second, the extra energy required to maintain the same cooling power will lead to higher electricity bills. Keeping your filters clean is essential for both your health and your AC’s efficiency.

For the sake of your health, your air conditioner’s efficiency, and your energy costs, it’s crucial to schedule an air filter checkup with Upside Down. Our service goes far beyond a simple filter replacement; it’s about ensuring your entire heating and cooling system operates at its peak performance.
