How often should I change my filters?

The frequency of changing filters can depend on several factors, including the type of filter, usage patterns, and the specific environment in which it operates. Generally, it is recommended to change HVAC filters every one to three months. If you have pets, live in a dusty area, or have allergies, you may need to change your filters more frequently, perhaps even monthly. For water filters, it is advisable to follow the manufacturer's guidelines, which often suggest replacement every six months to a year, depending on water quality and usage. For specialized filters, such as those used in filtration systems for industrial or commercial applications, the replacement frequency may vary significantly. It is important to regularly check the condition of your filters. If they appear dirty or clogged, it is best to replace them, regardless of the suggested schedule.
