When it comes to HVAC maintenance, regularly changing your air filters is one of the simplest and most effective ways to keep your HVAC system in tip-top shape. Changing your air filters only takes a minute and air filters themselves are inexpensive and can easily be found at any grocery or hardware store. Unfortunately, as simple and as important as changing your filters is, many people neglect to do so as often as they should.
In order to remember to regularly change your air filters, it’s a great idea to have a set day each month or every few months that you change it. Mark this date on your calendar or add a reminder in your phone; otherwise, it’s easy to forget to change your filter because it’s out of sight, out of mind.
How often you should change your filter depends on several factors. If you have anyone in your home who suffers from asthma or allergies, you should change your air filter every 30 days. If you have any pets in your home, you should change your filters every 30-60 days. If there are a larger number of people living in your home, you should also change your filter every 30-60 days. If none of these scenarios apply to you, you are probably fine waiting every 90 days to replace your air filter; just be sure to keep your eye on your filters, and if they seem to be collecting a lot of dust, you should probably change them more often or at least clean them off with a duster.
