The choked filter will hamper the performance of the AC unit and the room doesn't get cool ! In order to keep the efficiency of the Air Conditioner to the optimum level we need to clean the filter regularly. Since I am staying on the farm and there is lot of dust, I need to clean the filter of my AC unit at least once in a month. This I do it all by myself! How about you - How often you clean the filter of your AC? Do you clean it yourself or you get a technician to clean it?

Once a year, the technician does it.

@AKRao24 Yes. I do cleaning of my place everyday and all my doors/windows are closed to prevent dust/polluted air from coming in.

We do not have AC, the only filters I clean every couple of months are those of our tower computers. I vacuum also the inside.

@AKRao24 My tower computer is 12 years old, but I replaced almost everything inside.

We hardly use AC here. May be a few days in April that is peak summer here. So husband cleans it before we start using it. So just once a year.

Yes, the place where you live hardly requires AC as you have pleasant weather almost all round the year! So cleaning once in a year is quite justifiable!

@arunima25 , Yes, that was the weather bangalore used to have! Some decades back we were not even requiring fans to put on during the afternoons! But then things have changed a bit now! With a polluted environment things have changed!

@AKRao24 Bangalore has naturally air conditioned weather. We bought AC two years back. Before that we never felt need for it.
