How Often Should I Replace My Furnace Filter?
Strategic HVAC recommends regular filter changes to keep your system running efficiently
Your furnace filter plays a vital role in maintaining both indoor air quality and system performance. In Gilbert’s desert climate, where dust and allergens can accumulate extremely quickly, filters tend to clog faster than in other regions. As a general rule, most homeowners should replace their furnace filter every one to three months, depending on the type of filter, the presence of pets, and overall household air quality needs.
At Strategic HVAC, we advise checking your filter monthly, especially during peak heating or cooling seasons. A dirty or clogged filter forces your furnace to work harder, which can increase energy bills, reduce comfort, and shorten the lifespan of your entire system. Regular filter changes not only improve airflow but also help prevent unnecessary furnace repairs down the line too!
Our team is happy to guide you in selecting the right filter and size for your furnace, whether it’s a standard fiberglass option or a high-efficiency pleated filter – we’ve got you covered.
If you’d prefer not to worry about maintenance schedules, we also offer service plans that include filter checks and replacements as part of routine maintenance tune-ups. Ask one of our team members to give you more details.
With Strategic HVAC, you’ll always have clean air, lower energy costs, and a furnace that operates at its best, even during Gilbert’s worth – the dust-heavy seasons.
