Menrose Lotivio, Health and Safety Officer at MAF Dalkia Middle East, said while air conditionersdo not have a direct effect on allergies, air conditioning units should be maintained frequently soas not to accumulate dust.

"Allergies will only depend on the person, and whetherhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Al1zTyHVvQU they are allergic to dust. Respiratory problemswill usually only occur if there is a lot of dust in the units."

However she said, the air conditioning unit should be maintained and cleaned on a quarterly basis,as per the standard Plan Preventive Maintenance (PPM).

"If the unit is not maintained properly, it will accumulate dust that can be inhaled andhttp://metaremodel.com/ cause problems if the person is asthmatic." Lotivio said.

She said maintenance does not mean just cleaning the air conditioner's filters. "Forwww.youtube.com/watch?v=Al1zTyHVvQU example, for window air conditioners, it is required thatthe condenser cooling fins, as well as other parts - excluding the condenser motor along with theterminal connectors - be sprayed with water."
