Regularly replacing your HVAC air filters is one of the simplest ways to keep your system running efficiently and your indoor air clean.
Most homeowners should follow this general schedule:
– Every 1 to 3 months for standard filters
– Every 30 to 60 days if you have pets or allergies
– As recommended by the manufacturer for high-efficiency filters
Several factors can affect how often you should change your filters:
– Dust levels, which are often higher in Albuquerque
– Number of people in the home
– Presence of pets
– How often your HVAC system runs
If filters are not replaced regularly, you may notice:
– Reduced airflow and system performance
– Higher energy bills
– More dust buildup in your home
– Increased strain on your HVAC system
Keeping up with filter changes helps maintain efficiency, improve air quality, and extend the life of your system.
