You may find, if you have pets in your home, you may need to replace the filter more often than usual.

3. Keeping The Area Around The Outdoor Unit Cleaned.

If there are trees hovering over the unit, leaves and/or branches can fall into the unit and cause it to get clogged. Make sure to have a clean area around the units and try not to grow any vegetation too close to the units. Make sure to clean out all spaces in and around the unit.
