How often should I replace my HVAC air filter?

There isn’t one replacement schedule that works for every household. Filter type, pets, HVAC use and the amount of dust in your home can affect how quickly a filter becomes dirty. Check it regularly and follow the filter and HVAC manufacturer’s recommendations. If you’re unsure about your schedule, schedule a service with Aire Serv of Memphis for professional guidance.

How do I know when my air filter needs to be changed?

Look at the filter. If it is visibly covered with dust and debris, replacing it is usually a good idea. Reduced airflow or an HVAC system that seems to run longer than usual can also warrant checking the filter. Schedule an appointment if you would like a service professional to evaluate your system.

What size filter does my HVAC system need?

The correct dimensions depend on your HVAC equipment and filter housing. The size my be printed along the edge of your existing filter, but it is important to confirm that the filter currently installed is the correct one. Aire Serv of Memphis can check your system and help find the proper filter.

Are more expensive air filters always better?

No. A more expensive or higher-efficiency filter isn’t necessarily appropriate for every HVAC system. Some filters create greater resistance to airflow, and your equipment needs to be able to accommodate that resistance. Schedule air filter service if you need help comparing your options.

What type of air filter is best for a home with pets?

Homes with pets often benefit from filters designed to capture smaller particles such as pet dander, but the appropriate choice still depends on the HVAC system. A service professional can help you compare compatible filtration options. Schedule an appointment to discuss your home’s needs.

Why does my air filter get dirty so quickly?

Pets, household activity, HVAC runtime and the amount of dust entering the home can all affect how quickly a filter collects debris. A filter that becomes unusually dirty in a short period may be worth investigating. Request an HVAC appointment if you’re concerned about frequent filter changes.

Air Filters Services for Your Home

A clean, properly fitted filter helps your HVAC system move air efficiently while capturing dust and other particles before they circulate throughout your home. We can help determine which filter works with your equipment and household needs.

Not every filter is right for every HVAC system. Our service professionals can evaluate your current setup, check the required filter size and recommend an option that provides effective filtration without unnecessarily restricting airflow.
Filters collect dust, pollen, pet hair and other airborne particles as your HVAC system operates. Once enough debris builds up, airflow can suffer. We can replace a dirty filter and help you determine a practical replacement schedule based on your filter, household and HVAC use.
Different filters provide different levels of filtration. Depending on your HVAC equipment and indoor air quality goals, options can include fiberglass, pleated, electrostatic, activated carbon and other high-efficiency filters. Our service professionals can help you choose an option compatible with your system.

Types of Air Filters We Offer

The right air filter depends on your HVAC system, household needs, and indoor air quality concerns. Aire Serv of Memphis can help you compare compatible options and choose a filter that provides effective filtration without unnecessarily restricting airflow.

Common air filter options include:

Fiberglass Filters – A basic, disposable option designed to capture larger particles such as dust and debris. These filters typically require more replacement.
Pleated Filters – The folded material provides more surface area for capturing particles, including dust, pollen, and pet dander. They are available in several efficiency levels.
HEPA Filters – High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters capture very small airborne particles. Because not every residential HVAC system is designed for HEPA filtration, compatibility should be confirmed before installation.
Electrostatic Filters – These filters use an electrostatic charge to attract airborne particles. Depending on the type, they may be disposable or washable and reusable, making them an excellent long-term solution.
Activated Carbon Filters – Carbon filtration can help reduce certain household odors and airborne gases. These filters may be useful when odor control is an indoor air quality priority.
