Boise AC Filter Replacement

How Often Should You Replace AC Filters?

Manufacturers tend to recommend waiting until the filter appears dirty or sticking to a schedule of every 30-60 days. A single-occupancy home with no pets may not require AC filter replacement more than a couple of times a year. However, we will customize a schedule for filter change after carefully considering the following.

If occupants of the home have allergies, it may be necessary to change or clean the filter more often so that contaminants are less likely to cycle through the air.

Dangers of Neglecting AC Filter Replacement

The health of your household member, your air conditioner, and your wallet are all at risk when a filter remains neglected. Failure to regularly replace your filter has a significant impact on your air conditioning system.

A clean filter, on the other hand, makes it easier for the system to operate and traps contaminants (such as pet dander and dust) to decrease the effects of allergies.

When to Call for Professional Nampa Filter Replacement?

Disposable filters are not difficult to change, although, we recommend calling in a professional if you notice mold, insects, or a significant amount of dirt sticking to your filter. It is good that the filter is catching these contaminants but it is also a red flag that your HVAC system needs to be investigated thoroughly.

Do not put your family at risk of extreme temperatures or contaminants from a poorly functioning HVAC system. AC filter replacement is an important responsibility of every homeowner. Neglecting to change the filter can cause serious issues within the home as well as expensive repairs that could have been easily avoided.
