Do you ever wonder how frequently you should change the air filter in your HVAC system? There is no one-size-fits-all solution for all homes since many distinct factors influence the lifespan of an air filter.
The frequency with which you change your house’s HVAC air filter is determined by how long the air filter is projected to survive and the many features of your house that affect the filter. The most important parameters influencing filter replacement are listed below.
Air Conditioning and Heating Use
The frequency with which you use your air conditioning or heating unit influences the filter’s lifespan. When you use your HVAC system often throughout the year, the air is circulated through the residence more frequently than when you rarely use it. More cycles imply more runs through the air filter and more chances to collect pollutants; therefore, filters tend to clog up faster during peak usage periods.
Air filters must be replaced more regularly throughout the winter and summer months than during the fall or spring months.
Asthma and Allergy Sufferers
If you have asthma or allergy sufferers in your Grand Rapids home, clean air is essential for their comfort and health. When asthma and allergy sufferers are present, you will need to replace the air filter more regularly. Changing the air filter on a regular basis ensures that your filter has enough accessible surface area to filter out the pollutants that cause symptoms for your loved ones.
Pets
Indoor pets lose fur and dander, which become airborne in your house. These compounds clog air filters more quickly. Filters should be replaced every two months in homes with one pet, whereas the air filter should be replaced monthly in households with several pets.
