Stay Healthy This Summer By Keeping Your Aircon Clean

It’s almost time for another wonderful Australian summer. Whip out that cozzie for a swim or walk around the house in your grundies. Gather your loved ones around your house and have some great food on the barbie with some beers while the kids run around playing and enjoying their Zooper Doopers.

Safety Comes First

Of course, summer is the best time for you to be an aircon owner. However, after a long winter of the aircon being off, we want to remind you why air conditioner cleaning is so important for those in Newcastle and the rest of Australia.

How An Aircon Works

To understand why regular air conditioner cleaning is so important, let’s first look at exactly how an air con works. Putting it simply, an aircon sucks the hot air from inside your home or business and runs it through a cooling process and pumps the cool air back into your area. Obviously, there is a lot of air movement going on in and out of the aircon.

Dust Build Up

Over time the dirt starts to build up in your aircon, more specifically in the aircon’s filtering system. When the filters get too much buildup of dirt, they will eventually stop performing their job, which is to filter out the bad stuff.

Health Hazards

A dirty aircon can result in any bacteria growing in the dirt buildup in the filters to pass back through the house and potentially expose your whole household to these airborne viruses and allergens.

Some of the health concerns raised when using an air conditioner with a dirty air filter include the triggering of allergies, the development of mould, causation of increased fatigue, potential upper respiratory infections and can even cause skin conditions such as hives, eczema and rashes. Therefore, if you don’t want to make your family sick during the best time of the year, clean that aircon and your aircon filter regularly!
