You should change your air filter depending on several factors:

Standard Recommendation: Most experts suggest changing your air filter every 90 days (3 months).

High Usage or Dusty Areas: If you live in a dusty or polluted area, or run your HVAC system frequently, it’s advisable to change it every 30-60 days.

Homes with Pets: If you have pets, especially ones that shed a lot, you should change it every 60 days.

Allergies or Respiratory Issues: If someone in your home has allergies or respiratory issues, change the filter every 30 days to improve air quality.

Filter Type: Some higher-quality filters (like HEPA filters) can last longer, up to 6-12 months, but check the manufacturer’s recommendation.

Regularly inspecting the filter and adjusting based on your home’s conditions is always a good practice.

  • AC Size and Capacity: If your AC unit is undersized for your home, it won’t be able to cool efficiently when outdoor temperatures soar. It’s important that the unit is properly sized for your space.

  • Insufficient Insulation: Poor insulation or leaky windows and doors can allow cool air to escape, making it harder for the AC to maintain a comfortable temperature.

  • High Outdoor Temperatures: When it’s significantly hotter outside, even a well-functioning AC has to work harder, and it may not lower the indoor temperature as quickly as you expect.

  • Maintenance Issues: Dirty filters, clogged coils, or low refrigerant levels can reduce the efficiency of your AC. Regular maintenance helps avoid these problems.

Switching to a high-efficiency air filter is a smart choice for improving both your indoor air quality and the overall performance of your HVAC system. These filters are designed to capture a higher percentage of airborne particles such as dust, pollen, pet dander, and mold spores, making your home healthier, especially for those with allergies or respiratory conditions. In addition to cleaner air, a high-efficiency filter helps your HVAC system run more efficiently by preventing dust and debris from accumulating in the system, which can reduce wear and tear and extend its lifespan. This improved efficiency can also lower your energy consumption, leading to potential cost savings on your utility bills. High-efficiency filters also last longer than standard ones. Altogether, upgrading to a high-efficiency filter enhances your comfort, saves energy, and supports a healthier living environment.

To reduce the noise from your air conditioner, you can install a sound barrier, like a fence or shrubs, around the unit. Regular maintenance can also help, as worn parts may contribute to the noise. For a long-term solution, consider upgrading to a quieter, modern AC unit.

We’re in Texas so I would recommend that when you’re in the middle of the summer, inside of your home, go ahead and set the thermostat at a comfortable temperature of 72 degrees. When away from your home set the temperature to at least 78 degrees.

In the winter do what you feel is good.

A heat pump is an energy-efficient system that can both heat and cool your home by transferring heat. In winter, it pulls heat from the outside air to warm your home, and in summer, it removes heat from inside to cool it.

If your AC system isn’t working well in certain rooms, check for blocked vents or dirty air filters. You may also need to balance the airflow by adjusting dampers or consider adding zoning to your system. If the issue persists, contact a professional to inspect for duct leaks or other system inefficiencies.

To reduce your energy costs, ensure your HVAC system is properly maintained, seal any leaks in your home’s insulation, and use a programmable thermostat to optimize heating and cooling. Additionally, replace air filters regularly and consider upgrading to energy-efficient equipment if needed. Finally, when you’re not in the home turn the AC up to 78 degrees or higher.

Regular HVAC Maintenance: Schedule annual service for your HVAC system to ensure it’s running efficiently and filtering air properly. Change Air Filters Frequently: Replace your HVAC air filters every 1-3 months to trap dust, pollen, and other airborne particles. Install an Air Purifier: Consider adding a whole-home air purifier or portable units to reduce allergens like dust, pet dander, and mold spores. Use a Dehumidifier: Maintaining optimal humidity levels (30-50%) helps prevent mold growth and dust mites, which thrive in high humidity.

Yes, it’s highly recommended to have your furnace and air conditioner serviced annually. Regular maintenance helps to ensure that your systems run efficiently, prolongs their lifespan, and can prevent unexpected breakdowns. Annual servicing also helps improve indoor air quality, reduce energy costs, and keep your warranty valid. Ideally, your furnace should be checked in the fall, and your air conditioner in the spring, so they’re ready to handle extreme temperatures when needed.
