When to Replace Your Filters
There are visual signs that your filter needs changing. Such as dust around the vents, or a dirty color. A filter that’s covered in dust and debris means it has a hard time catching them. If your filter looks grey, brown, or even yellow, that’s another sign to change it.
Additionally, you may feel that the air doesn’t feel as cool or fresh. If it struggles to maintain the temperature or the airflow, it means your filter is blocked. Be sure to check for these signs every 2 to 3 months.
