Grab a new filter and the old one and compare the 2 at a window when the sun's up. If you can barely see light or any at all shining through the filter, it's done. Put in the new one. The new one will have a lot of light going through for comparison.
I don't know why people would use humidifiers while running the A/C, part of the A/C's job is to take the moisture out of the air, to lower the dewpoint.
Always buy merv 8 filters and buy them in bulk from filer buy website. It costs me 5.50 per one filter when I buy like 12 of them together so that’s one year stock ready to go and cheap good quality filters.
Hello Kyle.. Just wondering if you please can tell me.. Iam in a 2011 house is there a kind of maintenance that needs to be done on my air conditioning system ? Recently we end up replacing our water heater We didn't know that is good to empty it a least ones a year and that this help to prolong its life. Is the same way with the air conditioning system including the furnace in the attic ? Please help..
Jeez! Once a month?? Wow. Thats a lot of dust inside the house. If you have a ac filter needing replacement once a month you should try vacuuming your house or closing the windows when running the ac.
