How often do I need to change my air filters?

Once a month is a pretty good rule of thumb for most people. Depending on where you live and how much dirt, pet dander, and other contaminants are present, the answer could be more or less. Check your filter frequently to determine if it’s dirty. If it is, change it.

Why do HVAC systems go out?

If you don’t take care of your HVAC system, it is more likely to fail. Just like your car needs routine maintenance to keep running, your HVAC system needs care to remain in good shape. It’s wise to have an experienced technician check your system in the spring and fall, before the seasons get hot or cold. An experienced technician is key, here, because do-it-yourself maintenance often results in missed issues that turn into emergency repairs later. Of course, some systems fail simply because they’ve outlived their lifespan. The older a system gets, the more frequently it will need repair, and when the repairs become more than one third of the amount needed to replace it, it’s a good idea to consider a new system.
