Types of Air Conditioner Filters
Not all air conditioner filters are the same and your choice can make a huge difference to the quality of your home’s air. The technicians at After Hours Air Conditioning are familiar with all types of air conditioner filters.
Among the types of AC filters on the market are:
- HEPA filters
A HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filter is placed on the return air grille of ducted air conditioning systems. They are, arguably, one of the most effective filters for improving air quality. HEPA filters can purify your air from moulds, bacteria, dust and more. They are a great option for those who suffer from respiratory problems or allergies. They need to be replaced in residential settings every few years.
- UV filters
UV filters use ultraviolet light to kill bacteria, viruses and mould spores. These filters use a UV lamp set to a germicidal wavelength to effectively purify your HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) air by destroying harmful microorganisms. However, UV filters aren’t useful at removing common allergens such as dust. They also cost considerably more to install. The UV lamps typically need to be replaced every 12 months, depending on the brand and model.
- Electrostatic filters
An electrostatic filter uses paper and cotton fibres to capture dust and other particles through the natural magnetism of these materials. These are an excellent option for those who want to combat airborne allergens in a more cost-effective way. There are reusable and disposable electrostatic air filters, which means they can be cleaned or replaced. However, when compared with other filters, electrostatic filters are not as effective at removing larger pollutants and may be inadequate for asthma sufferers.
- Washable filters
For the environmentally conscious, washable air filters are a great way to go. This filter material means you can simply wash it and reuse the filter over and over again. While not as effective as other filters, these are ideal for homes where air quality isn’t a major concern. In order to keep reusing these filters, you need to follow the instructions so they continue to work as intended.
- Spun glass filters
One of the most common AC filters is spun glass filters. These are a cost-effective and readily available filter used in many air conditioners. Spun glass filters aren’t the most effective at removing airborne contaminants and can quickly become clogged, which can have a negative impact on your air conditioner’s airflow and efficiency.
- Pleated filters
There are cotton and polyester pleated filters. This type of air filter is exceptional at capturing debris but not as good at providing air filtration. They’re also a great option if you want to dampen the sound of your air conditioner. However, the nature of pleated filters means that your AC needs to work harder to pull air through the unit, which can make it less efficient.

How Important are Clean AC Filters?
There are many reasons to ensure you have clean air conditioning filters. The first and most obvious reason is to be certain it is effectively filtering the air it uses.
An air conditioning filter traps airborne contaminants and stops them from being distributed throughout your home through the unit (or units). Depending on the type of filter, these can stop dust and pollution, and even bacteria, mould spores and viruses from entering your home.
Over time these contaminants can build up on your air conditioner filter. This can reduce the efficiency of the filter material. The contaminants that were once being held at bay by your air filter are now freely entering your home’s air. This is bad news, not only for those with asthma or allergy sufferers, but it can also affect those with no respiratory problems at all.
This build-up can not only make you ill, it can also restrict airflow from your AC system. Restricted airflow means the system now needs to work hard to do the job of heating or cooling that it once did with ease. This is a negative for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, your AC unit parts will wear out more quickly. This means you’ll be facing repairs sooner than you would if your system was working efficiently. Secondly, the extra energy required to power your AC means you’ll pay more when the energy bill is due.
