You will need to follow different schedules to ensure that the filter is always functioning for optimal performance. Most manufacturers recommend that basic filters are changed or cleaned every 60 to 90 days, but other circumstances could affect that schedule. For example:
- A filter in a regular environment with no pets should be changed every 90 days.
- If your building has a single pet, the filter should be changed every 60 days.
- For multiple pets, or if anyone in your home suffers from allergies, you’ll want to change or clean the filter every 20 to 45
- People in single-occupant homes with no pets, or those who own vacation homes that don’t get much use can usually wait for 6 to 12 months before changing their filter.
