Do I Really Need to Change My Air Filter Every Month?

OMG ew, we can't believe you even Googled that.

Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: Yeeeees.

Look, we get it. Life gets busy. You meant to change your air filter last month. Then again this month. But then… you didn’t. And now here we are.

YOU: reading this blog. From your sofa or your toilet. (Probably the latter.)
US: judging you.

But it doesn’t have to be this way...

Let’s answer the age-old question:

Do I reeeally need to change my air filter every month?

Well…

• Do you really need to brush your teeth every day?

• Wear deodorant in the Texas heat?

• Wash your sheets, fold your laundry, call your parents, stop texting your ex...

Technically? No. But should you?
Heck yes, you little weirdo.

Here’s what happens when you don’t:

Your HVAC system starts working overtime, like it’s trying to run a marathon in a ski mask. Stop and think about that visual for a sec.

Your poor little HVAC… wheezing, struggle-bussing, burning way too much energy, and eventually collapsing in a cloud of its own dust.

Meanwhile, your energy bills go up, your air quality goes down, and YOU suffer

(Spoiler: It is your fault.)

“But it still feels fine in here!”

Sure. Just like your car “feels fine” with the check engine light on.
Everything’s chill… right up until it isn’t.

Then your HVAC tech gives you that look.
You know the one. Disappointed. Judgy.

“But can’t I just wait a few more weeks?!!” we hear you shriek.

OMG bro, toootally!! And while you’re at it:

• Stop changing your oil

• Ignore your smoke detectors

• Let your dryer BURST into flames from the lint trap you never clean

Go FULL chaos mode. Let it buuuuurn!!!

So... yes. Once a month.

It’s cheap, it’s easy, and it keeps your HVAC from dying.

Just set a reminder:

• Phone.

• Calendar.

• Sticky note on your fridge.

• Train your dog.

• Train your toddler.

• Tattoo it on your face.

We don’t care how, just do it.
