HVAC filters play a crucial role in maintaining indoor air quality and system efficiency. How often should I inspect and replace HVAC filters to ensure optimal performance and prolong the lifespan of my heating and cooling system?

From my experience, it's generally a good idea to check your HVAC filters once a month. If you have pets, allergies, or live in an area with a lot of dust or pollution, you might need to replace them more frequently, like every 1-2 months. 🙂✨👌👍

Aim for every 3 months for pleated filters, but check them visually every month. Change more often if you have pets, allergies, or heavy dust.

Hey there! I'd say peek at your filters monthly and swap them out every 2-3 months for best results, especially if you've got furry friends or live in a dusty area.
