Both mine have been showing CL for a few months now, :lol:

My upstairs one is awkward to get to and I had difficulty getting the ladder around the corners of the hallway last time, so I was putting it off. Then I remembered I had a telescopic ladder which makes it a cinch. :D

Not too bad,

8,000 BTU is about 2.3kW so would be a small, single room type job. Similar price to UK. I remember when you posted a picture a year ago that they were half price in Turkey vs UK.

Thank you Stinsy, I thought similar. It seems that the game of inflationary crack the whip is ongoing and breaking out in unexpected places.

I used to do the filters on our aircons offshore each rotation so they were being done every two months. I reckon 3 times per year would be about right in normal applications (not running 24/7).

I guess the local currency doesn't have the purchasing power for imports it had a year ago...

To the company that gets alexa / siri to set 6 monthly filter type DIY replacement reminders as a "skill" ..may you reap the rewards of your foresight.
