Yes, any home with an HVAC system that circulates conditioned air through ductwork has air filters that need regular replacement. Below, we’ve answered some common questions about air filters. If you don’t see your question, please contact us for more information.

Replacing your air filter regularly helps to keep home and office spaces cleaner by reducing dust and other particles on floors, shelves, and surfaces. For individuals with allergies or breathing issues, changing your air filter frequently can improve air quality, easing symptoms like stuffy nose, itchiness, or difficulty breathing. Additionally, regular filter changes can boost the efficiency of your HVAC system, helping it run smoothly.

For most homes, a MERV rating between 8 and 10 is ideal. These filters effectively capture common airborne particles, like dust and pollen, improving indoor air quality without greatly impacting energy costs.

Air filters typically needed be changed every 1 to 3 months, depending on factors like filter type, home conditions, and usage. If you use a higher MERV-rated filter, it’s best to replace it more frequently to maintain optimal performance and air quality.

We have this easy 6-step guide for replacing your air filter:

1.) Turn off the power to your HVAC unit.

2.) Locate the filter near the air supply vent and remove the cover or plate.

3.) Take out the old filter.

4.) Check the airflow arrows on the new filter and ensure they point toward the unit.

5.) Insert the new filter and replace the cover.

6.) Turn the power back on.

This is a quick and easy way to keep your home's air fresh and your HVAC system working at its best.
