A short home-maintenance clip advising homeowners to check and change HVAC/air filters about every 30 days. The speaker emphasizes more frequent inspections in hot weather or when pets are present (pet hair can clog filters), warns clogged filters can make the system freeze and fail, and recommends choosing the appropriate filter type (filtration vs. air cleaning) and upgrading if needed.

Air filter, something very important for your system. Every 30 days is kind of a good rule to change your filter. I would check them when it's really hot like it's been. I would check them every couple of days just to make sure nothing weird is going on, especially if you have pets, cats, dogs in the house. Sometimes that hair can get airborne and stick on the filter and then cause it to clog up, which will then cause your system not to breathe, which then cause your system to freeze, freeze, which would then cause it to not work, which would then cause you to place a service call, which then caused us to come out. So you can prevent all that by checking your filter. Change your filter, but every 30 days and depending on your system, depends on what type of filter you need. If you need to go into air cleaning versus filtration and then if you need to buy a better filter.
