Qatar's dusty environment makes AC cleaning more critical than in most countries. Here's why regular cleaning should be a priority for every homeowner.
How Dust Affects Your AC
Dust accumulation on coils, filters, and fans forces your AC to work harder, increasing energy consumption by 15-30% while reducing cooling capacity.
Health Implications
Dirty ACs circulate dust, allergens, and potentially mold spores throughout your home. This is especially concerning for those with respiratory conditions.
What Should Be Cleaned
Professional AC cleaning includes:
- Air filters (replace if damaged)
- Evaporator and condenser coils
- Condensate drain
- Fan blades and motor
- Exterior unit and fins
Recommended Frequency
In Qatar, we recommend professional cleaning every 3 months during peak season (April-October) and every 4-6 months during cooler periods.
DIY vs Professional Cleaning
While you can clean filters yourself, deep cleaning requires professional equipment. Improper cleaning can damage delicate components or void warranties.
