How Often Should You Have Your Filters Replaced?

To keep your air conditioner working properly, you need to replace your filters frequently. How often can depend on several issues, including where you live and how many pets you have. Some guidelines you can follow are:

• Replace the filter every six months for households without pets.
• If you live in an urban area, you may need to replace it every three months.
• Change the filter every two months if you have a pet.
• Replace it every month if someone in the household has pet allergies.
• Change it more often during periods of extended use, like in the heat of summer.
