How Often Should Clearfield, UT, Homeowners Replace Their AC Filter?
Every household is different, with unique indoor comfort needs and goals. Typical homes will do well with AC filter replacement every three months.
But what if you have household members with allergies or respiratory issues? You may want to replace the AC filter every 1 to 2 months. The same goes for homes with smokers or pets—more frequent filter replacement means less chance for dust, dirt, and other allergens to build up in your comfort system.
Which Type of AC Filter is Right for Your Home in Clearfield, Utah?
To determine the best AC filter for your home and your budget, you will need to consider your household’s needs.
Fiberglass AC filters are the most common. They offer the best airflow and can trap particles as small as ten microns. Fiberglass filters will typically need to be replaced every month.
Pleated filters are the recommended option for greater performance. These filters can capture particles as small as three microns (which is about the size of a mold spore), which makes them more efficient at delivering cleaner and healthier indoor air. And with the greater surface area of pleated filters, it means they are also able to trap a larger amount of dirt, dust, and debris with less frequent replacement—you can usually replace pleated filters every three months.
Are you thinking of using HEPA filters? If you have more sensitive household members, this may seem like a smart move. However, keep in mind that HEPA filters are the most restrictive to airflow. An average residential HVAC system will not be able to handle the high efficiency performance of a HEPA filter, which is why these filters are best used in commercial settings.
For homeowners, a pleated filter is typically the most cost-effective choice.
