HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU CHANGE YOUR AIR FILTER?

Changing your air filter is one of the most important maintenance task you can do as a homeowner. The number of times that you change your air filter depends on the impurities that is returned to the unit. Listed below are some of the scenarios that may impact the frequency of filter changes.
  • If you have pets, the pet dander and hair can be returned to the unit.
  • The number of children you have impacts the amount of dust and dirt that is introduced to the filter.
  • The more tile or hardwood floors you have in lieu of carpet allows more dust and dirt to access the filter.
  • The type of vaccum you use on your carpet may impact filter changes.

  1. Replacing your furnace filters every 2 to 4 months keeps this flow of air unrestricted.  Not only is the air cleaner, but the furnace doesn’t use as much energy to heat the home.
