How Often Should I Change my AC Filter?
How often do I change the AC filter in my HVAC system?
Answers can be all over the board when it comes to how often a person should change AC filter in their homes, but I have learned that the best answer is “Hey, when its dirty, change it”. That’s the easiest answer. If you have had your filter in there for 30 days and you take a look at it and it isn’t dirty. then you are good to go.
Where a lot of homeowners get into trouble is when they expect it to last 60 days and so they never check it. When they finally do, they find it clogged with debris. Or it actually caused a problem.
Why Would Some People's Filter Last Longer?
Some people don’t generate as much dust and debris in their home. Other people simply don’t run their systems enough to get their filter very dirty early on and so it lasts longer. But if you have a busy home and multiple animals and lots of people going in and out, and you are also running the system a lot, then make sure to take a look at your filters every 2-3 weeks to see how they are doing.
So many service calls in the summer could be avoided if the filter was just changed before it became clogged. A clogged filter causes multiple problems:
- Limit switch burn out/tripping
- Frozen AC units
- Burnt out blower motors
Using the 30 day rule of thumb is a good idea. So check your filter after 30 days even if you don't think it would be dirty. Don’t expect the data on the packing to determine how long it lasts because your home's needs may be different. Everybody runs their AC differently.
