How often should I change my air filters?

It is recommended to change your air filters regularly to maintain optimal performance and indoor air quality. The frequency of filter replacement depends on various factors such as the type of filter, household size, pets, and surrounding environment. As a general guideline, standard filters should be replaced every 90 days, while higher-quality filters, such as HEPA filters, may last up to 6 months. However, it is crucial to inspect filters monthly and change them sooner if they appear dirty or clogged. Neglecting filter maintenance can lead to reduced airflow, increased energy consumption, and potential damage to your Rheem heating and cooling system. Hence, it is advisable to follow manufacturer recommendations and consult a professional HVAC technician for specific advice based on your circumstances.
