When to Check Your Filter
We recommend checking your air filter once a month, especially in high-use seasons like summer. A dirty filter can: Restrict airflow Cause your system to run longer than needed Overheat the heat exchanger or overwork the compressor Increase your energy bill by up to 20% or more Replacing or cleaning your filter regularly helps lower energy use and prevents costly repairs.
