Being that we’re day 5 into a Heat Wave in NYC; I earlier this week I finally looked into how to clean my Air Conditioning Filter. Ok background, I AM NO WAY a DIY house maintenance person. But this was actually super easy and now not only does my Air Conditioner work much faster; but as many Personal Finance Articles attest to.. this will save you some $$ on your electricity bill.
Step ONE : Find your Filter
Step Two : Gently Tug out the Filter
This is what a Clean One looks like
Step THREE: Clean off the dust, I'll look like your dryer filter. I suggest taking a paper towel and just gently running through the dusty areas. If you've never done this before with your AC, it will look like think layer of dirty cotton. So then I suggest lightly grabbing as much as you can and trashing it. Obviously if you wet it, wait for it to dry before inserting back into your Air Conditioner.
