How Often Do You Need a New AC Filter?

Most filters need changing every 30 to 90 days depending on your system and household. Homes with pets or allergies need more frequent changes. Local South Florida homes run AC longer than systems in cooler climates, which loads up filters faster.

Basic pleated filters last one to three months. Higher-efficiency filters may need replacing monthly. If you notice reduced airflow or higher electric bills, check your filter.

How Often Do You Need a New AC Filter?

What Types of AC Filters Can You Install?

The right filter depends on your household, your budget, and what you need filtered out. Most homes around Deerfield Beach use one of these options.

MERV 8-11

Standard Pleated Filters

These handle dust, pollen, and pet hair without putting resistance on your system. Most residential units run best with pleated filters rated MERV 8 to MERV 11. They cost less than high-efficiency options and need replacing every one to three months.

HEPA

Filters for Allergies and Asthma

HEPA filters capture smaller particles like mold spores and bacteria. If someone in your home deals with asthma or severe allergies, these are the best ac filters for allergies. They require more frequent changes and can reduce airflow if your system wasn't designed for them. We test compatibility before installation.

WASHABLE

Electrostatic and Washable Options

Some homeowners prefer reusable filters they can clean instead of replacing. These work well for basic dust control but need regular washing. We can help you decide if a washable filter makes sense for your setup.

What's Included in Air Filter Service

Filter Inspection & Installation

Our technicians measure your system and recommend the right filter for your home. Most people don't realize they've been using the wrong size or type until we check. We install it during the same visit and stock basic pleated filters through hospital-grade options. If we spot restricted airflow or excess dust, we'll let you know about any issues we notice.

CLOGGED

Common Issues From Clogged Filters

A blocked filter creates issues throughout your HVAC system. South Florida homes run AC constantly from May through October, which loads up filters faster than in cooler climates. Your system pulls harder to move air through a clogged filter, driving up energy costs and stressing the blower motor. When airflow gets restricted, your system can't cool itself properly, leading to overheating, shutdowns, and complicated AC repairs.

Filter Changes Can Save You Money

Regular changes extend equipment life. Blower motors, evaporator coils, and compressors all last longer with clean filters. Manufacturers often require proof of routine filter changes to honor warranties. If you need help keeping track or want someone else to handle it, our maintenance plans include regular filter replacement along with other system checkups.

What Does MERV Mean for Your Filter?

MERV ratings run from 1 to 16 and measure how well a filter traps particles.

MERV 8-11

What Works for Most Homes

Most homes do well with MERV 8 to MERV 11 filters. These catch common allergens without restricting airflow too much.

MERV 13-16

Why Higher Isn't Always Better

Higher ratings like MERV 13 to 16 trap smaller particles but can strain residential systems not designed for that level of resistance.

AIR FLOW TEST

Finding Your Right Filter

We run air filter testing during installation to confirm your system handles the filter you choose. The best MERV rating balances filtration with your system's capabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Running your system without a filter lets dust and debris go straight into your equipment. This can damage your blower motor and coat your evaporator coil in dirt. Even running filterless for a day or two causes problems that cost more to fix than a new filter.

The filter won't work right. Arrows on the frame show which way air should flow through the material. Installing it backwards means the filter can't trap particles the way it was designed to. Some filters also have a reinforced side that needs to face the blower.

Not always. Thicker filters like 4-inch or 5-inch models hold more dust and last longer between changes, but your system needs the right slot size to fit them. You can't just swap a 1-inch for a 4-inch without modifying your return vent. Thicker isn't automatically better if your system wasn't built for it.

Basic filters don't remove odors. They trap particles but don't handle smells. For odors, you need activated carbon filters or a whole-home air purification system. We can recommend options if smell is your main concern.

Yes. High humidity means your AC runs more to control moisture, which pulls more air through the filter. Homes near the beach also deal with salt air that can make filters deteriorate faster.

Check the frame of your current filter. The size is printed on the cardboard edge, usually something like 16x25x1 or 20x20x1. The first two numbers are length and width in inches, the last is thickness. Buy the same size, or call us and we'll help you figure it out.
