A good general guideline is to replace your pleated air filters every 90 days (3 months).
However, how often you actually need to change it depends on a few factors:
- Pets & Allergies: If you have furry friends or family members with allergies/asthma, you'll want to change your filter more frequently – often every 30-60 days.
- Kids & Activity: Homes with children or higher activity levels might also benefit from more frequent changes.
- Dust Levels: If your home seems to accumulate a lot of dust, consider checking and changing your filter more often.
Regular filter changes are key for clean indoor air, an efficient HVAC system, and lower energy bills.
