How Often Should I Change My HVAC Filter?
Change your HVAC filter every 1 to 3 months in Greenbrier, more often in pollen season, with pets, or in a dusty home. A dirty filter is the cheapest fault to prevent.
Short answer: Every 1 to 3 months for most homes, monthly in spring pollen season or with pets, and at least every 3 months even in a quiet home.
Signs it is overdue
- Dust on vents and surfaces that returns fast
- Weak airflow from vents
- System running longer to reach the setpoint
- Filter visibly grey or clogged when you pull it out
A clean filter will not fix a refrigerant leak or a bad compressor, but a dirty one can cause ice, short cycling, and higher bills on its own. See maintenance.
