How often should your air filter be changed?

Regularly changing air filters is a crucial component of HVAC maintenance. The golden rule is to check your AC system filters monthly. Pay special attention during the summer months when your HVAC system works its hardest. If the filters appear dirty, don’t hesitate to change them. Otherwise, a minimum replacement interval of every three months is advisable.

Factors Influencing Frequency:

Air Filter Design: Air filters come in different designs and densities. Some may require more frequent replacements due to their unique structures, ensuring optimal particle capture.

Pets: Our furry companions bring joy but can also contribute to clogged filters with dander and hair. The more pets you have, the more vigilant you should be in swapping out filters.

Allergies: For allergy sufferers, the battle against dust mites and pollen requires a monthly filter change to maintain a haven of relief.

Air Pollution: If you reside in a community with high air pollution levels, consider regular air filter changes to preserve healthier indoor air quality.

Household Size: Larger homes, with their increased air circulation, may demand more frequent filter replacements to keep the air pristine.

Construction: Remodeling or street construction can introduce contaminants, making filter changes crucial during these periods.

Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV): The MERV rating serves as a guide to your filter’s efficiency. Higher ratings equate to better particle and pollutant capture, necessitating attention to filter replacement.

Smoking: Smoking indoors can compromise air quality, demanding more frequent filter changes to counteract the impact.

Regular air filter upkeep is more than a chore; it’s a proactive stance toward better health and seasonal allergy relief. Moreover, a smoothly running HVAC system is an added bonus.
