How often should you clean air conditioner filters?

Clean your air conditioner filters every 2 weeks when you use it a lot in summer. With pets or allergies, do it more often.

Daikin recommends cleaning the filters every two weeks during intensive use. Dirty filters reduce airflow, so the unit has to work harder. Always leave the refrigerant circuit to a professional.

  1. Switch the unit off and unplug or isolate it
  2. Open the front panel and take out the filters
  3. Vacuum them or rinse them in lukewarm water
  4. Let them dry in the shade and put them back
