Your health depends on the air quality you breathe.

Keeping the air conditioner clean and service will extend its useful life and save you money. Most damage to modern ACs occurs because of clogged and dirty filters.

Imagine sitting in a room where the air you breathe is clean \u2013 this can make you feel good. Likewise, a dirty windows unit can spoil a neat room. There are many impacts of dust from an AC unit on your health. One of them includes the endless flu. Another is the smell.

Most <a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/4408512\/air-conditioning-mistakes\/\">air conditioning systems<\/a> include tabs or screws for proper installation. Filters are fixed inside the device, but you can check the user manual to help remove them.<\/li><li class=\"\">Wash the filter by dipping it into a soap or detergent solution and then running it through running water. You can use hot water to clean your front panel and filters. If the filter is clogged with grime or dust, consider using a vacuum hose to clean out the filter.<\/li><li class=\"\">After allowing the filter to dry, return it to its original position. You can shake off excess water or dry it using another towel. Do not place the filter in its position when the air conditioner is running unless it has dried out. Don&#8217;t turn on the system if the filter is wet or if you haven&#8217;t placed it in its location because you could damage the whole system. If the front panel seems damaged, you may want to replace it because it could interfere with the air conditioner\u2019s effectiveness.<\/li><li class=\"\">Replace the worn-out filter also for the proper operation of your unit. Make sure you buy the right brand of filter for your air conditioner. Don&#8217;t use filters from another brand. Make sure you buy the filter for your air conditioner from the same manufacturer who makes it. It&#8217;s recommended to clean your window air conditioning unit at least once a month to stay in good shape.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0b78298 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0b78298\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e81a783\" data-id=\"e81a783\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0e74a7d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0e74a7d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">3.
