AC Filter Replacement Al Salam City

In Al Salam City's dusty climate, we recommend replacing your AC filter every 1-3 months. However, this varies based on filter type: standard filters need replacement every 1-2 months, HEPA filters every 3-6 months, and washable electrostatic filters need cleaning every 2-4 weeks. Homes with pets or allergy sufferers may need more frequent replacement.

HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters capture 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, including dust, pollen, mold spores, and bacteria. Standard filters typically capture only 20-30% of these particles. HEPA filters cost from AED 200 vs AED 100 for standard, but offer significantly better air quality, especially important for allergies and asthma.

AC filter replacement costs vary by filter type: Standard filters from AED 100, HEPA filters from AED 200, Carbon filters from AED 150, and Electrostatic filters from AED 250. This includes the filter and professional installation. We offer same-day service and can help you choose the best filter for your needs and budget.

Filter size depends on your AC unit. The most common sizes in UAE are 20x20, 20x25, 16x25, and 24x24 inches. You can find the size printed on your current filter's frame, or check your AC manual. Our technicians offer free filter sizing consultations to ensure you get the perfect fit for your unit.

Yes! A clogged filter restricts airflow, forcing your AC to work harder. This leads to higher electricity bills (up to 15% increase), frozen evaporator coils, reduced cooling capacity, and potential compressor failure. Regular filter replacement is the simplest way to protect your AC and maintain optimal performance.

Carbon filters (activated charcoal) are designed to remove odors, smoke, VOCs (volatile organic compounds), and harmful gases from the air. They're ideal for homes with smokers, near construction, cooking smells, or chemical sensitivities. Carbon filters cost from AED 150 and should be replaced every 3-6 months for optimal odor control.

Electrostatic washable filters are more cost-effective long-term (lasting 5-10 years) and eco-friendly. However, they require regular cleaning every 2-4 weeks. Disposable filters are more convenient – just replace and discard. For optimal air quality, HEPA disposable filters typically outperform washable ones. We can help you decide based on your lifestyle.

MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) rates filter effectiveness from 1-16. For most homes, MERV 8-11 is ideal – it catches dust, pollen, and mold without restricting airflow. MERV 13+ (including HEPA) is best for allergies and medical needs. Higher MERV means better filtration but may require more frequent replacement. We'll recommend the best MERV for your AC system.
