The answer is: As often as possible!

To ensure your air conditioner is running at its best, it’s important to regularly change the filter. This can help prevent damage to your system and improve performance.

How often should you change your AC filter?

It’s recommended that you replace your AC filter every 1-2 months. If you notice a decrease in air flow or an increase in pressure drop, then it’s time for a new filter.

We know that it can be hard to remember when to change your filter, but we’ve got some tips to help.

1. If you’re not sure when you last changed it, look at the model number on the filter itself. Most manufacturers will put a date right there on the label of their filters so that you know exactly when you need to replace them.

2. It’s important to know what kind of filters are in use in your home or business—some need more frequent changes than others. If yours are particularly dirty or dusty, they may need replacing more often than usual.

3: Don’t forget about seasonal changes— when there’s more moisture in the air (and therefore more particulates) it’s best to change filters even more frequently than usual.

How do I know if my AC needs a new filter?

  • If you notice any of the following issues, then it’s time for a new filter.
  • Poor ventilation or airflow through your vents (it should feel like a gentle breeze).
  • Increase in temperature from inside to outside of your home (the outside temperature should be lower than the inside temperature when using air conditioning).
