Hi, I'm David. Welcome to airfiltersdelivered.com. Frequently, we get asked, "How often should I change my air filter?". Changing your air filter is the easiest and most effective way of maintaining your home's cooling and heating system.
A dirty air filter restricts airflow, which leads to bad air quality, higher energy bills, and over time will cause your system to ultimately fail. Figuring out how often you need to change your air filter will depend on where you live, the time of year, the filter material, and the efficiency of the filter you select.
This is a fiberglass filter. It's a low cost, disposable filter, but you'll need to change it every 30 days or less. Why? Because it's less efficient in capturing dust and particles in the air.
This pleated air filter is also disposable, but more efficient than fiberglass and lasts longer: up to 90 days depending on use.
If your air filter typically lasts 90 days, you should change it every 30 days during peak summer and winter months, when your system works the hardest.
Now you're ready to choose the right air filter to help maintain a clean and healthy environment for you and your family. Remember, proper maintenance of your home's cooling and heating system will maintain good air quality, increase the lifespan of your system, and consume less energy to help lower your bills.

The biggest factor in how often you should change your filter is the type of filter you use. There are two main filter types to choose from: fiberglass air filters and pleated air filters. Both types are disposable, but there are some important differences between them.
Fiberglass air filters are the more affordable of the two but less efficient at capturing dust and particles in the air. They generally need to be changed every 30 days or less.
Pleated air filters are more expensive at the outset, but they are also more efficient at trapping particles and can last up to 90 days, depending on use.
When you purchase a new air filter, you&#;ll find the manufacturer's recommendations for the replacement schedule. This is a general guideline, and depending on the following factors, you may need to change it more often&#;or less often.
Tip: Some filter models offer a subscription service that delivers a new filter to your home on a regular schedule. Opt for an air filter subscription if you don't want to worry about remembering to buy a new one.
