Air Filters-How Often Do They Need Replaced?

Written By Mary Policky

Changing your air filter is an essential part of maintaining your HVAC system and ensuring the air quality in your home stays healthy. Here are a few reasons why you should regularly change your air filter:

  1. Improves Air Quality: A clean air filter traps dust, allergens, and other airborne particles, improving the air quality inside your home. This can be especially beneficial for people with asthma, allergies, or respiratory issues.

  2. Increases HVAC Efficiency: When the air filter is clogged, the HVAC system has to work harder to circulate air. A clean filter helps the system run smoothly, improving efficiency and reducing energy consumption.

  3. Extends the Life of Your HVAC System: Regularly changing your air filter helps prevent dust and debris from accumulating inside your system. This reduces wear and tear, which can prolong the lifespan of your HVAC system.

  4. Prevents Expensive Repairs: A clogged air filter can cause your HVAC system to overheat or freeze, leading to costly repairs. Changing the air filter regularly can help prevent these problems.

  5. Helps Maintain Proper Airflow: A clean filter ensures proper airflow, which is crucial for maintaining consistent temperatures throughout your home. It also helps keep your system from being overworked.

  6. Reduces Odors: Air filters can trap odors from pets, cooking, and other sources. Replacing your filter regularly helps keep your home smelling fresh.

Make it a habit to check and change your air filter every 1-3 months, depending on the type of filter and the level of air pollution in your home. It's a small task that can have a big impact on both the comfort of your home and the health of your HVAC system.
