How Does Your Air Conditioner Deal with Bushfire Smoke?
In most circumstances, the air in your house is recycled by your air conditioner. If you have an air conditioner, you’ll notice that the air you breathe is cleaner and more hygienic every time it goes through your filter.
Keep your doors and windows closed while there is lots of smoke outside. Your air conditioner can remain on to keep you comfortable. If it is safe to do so, pets and other animals should be brought inside the home as well.
If your air conditioner includes a ‘Fresh Air’ feature, it is vital to turn this feature off. It’s a good idea not to use this option if you don’t want to bring in smoke from a nearby bushfire or other dangerous pollutants if that is a concern.
Reduce Smoke
Bushfire smoke can be reduced in your house by upgrading your air filter to a pleated disposable type, HEPA or other high-filtration choices. There are a wide variety of filter upgrades that your local air conditioning specialist may help you with.
Your filter’s lifespan and general effectiveness will be greatly impacted if you don’t clean or replace it regularly.
If you have a decent air conditioner that is properly equipped and operated, it may be a crucial aid in coping with the smoke from bushfires in the Summer.
