Your air filter: it’s one of the easiest ways to care for your HVAC system, yet so many of us still forget to routinely change and clean them. Changing your air filter every 30 to 90 days will ensure your home always has the best air quality. It is recommended that during the height of the winter and summer months, when your HVAC system is using more of its capacity to accommodate the extreme temperatures, that you change your filter every 30 days.

How to Change Your Air Filter:
Changing your air filter is super easy, and we’re here to teach you how. Feel confident in your home’s air filter maintenance with these 5 steps:
- First, turn the air unit off. This will prevent excess dust from blowing into the unit while you are changing the filter.
- Open the vent and remove the dirty filter.
- Check the direction of the Air Flow Arrows on your new filter. Always point the arrows toward your unit.
- Install the filter by pushing the bottom side first, then moving the top side into place.
- Put the vent back in place and turn the unit back on.
Whether you’re a first-time home owner or have owned a home for decades, you can rely on Kasper Mechanical to lend you a helping hand in figuring out all of your HVAC system needs.
How Often Should You Change Your Air Filter?
How often you should change your air filter depends on a couple of factors. First, if you’re a homeowner with one or more indoor animals, you should replace your air filter more frequently than homes without pets. Animals, especially ones that shed, produce a higher amount of dander and hair that can clog your air filter system faster. It’s recommended that you change your filter every 60 days.
Second, if you’re a family sensitive to allergies, it is recommended that you change your air filter every 20 to 40 days to maintain higher air quality. If you want to stop sneezin’, it’s best to get cleanin’.
Third, if you’re a family with minimal allergies and no pets (or hypoallergenic pets), then the good news is that you only need to switch your filters every 90 days.
