What Makes Air Filters Important?
Air filters are important because 100% of your home’s air travels through them and then into your lungs. Installing and maintaining quality air filters can help keep you breathe more comfortably and your air conditioner system run more efficiently.

How Often Should an Air Filter Be Changed?
A good rule of thumb is to change your home’s air filter(s) once every three months. This rule can vary based on the amount of people living in your home, how often your air conditioner runs, the quality of your air filter, and how frequently your air conditioner system is used. If you are in doubt, it’s a good idea to turn off your air conditioner and remove/inspect your air filter by holding it near a light source. If it is difficult for light to pass through the filter, chances are it’s time to be replaced.
