Prepare Your HVAC System for the Summer Season

As we continue through the warmer months in Richmond, we want to remind everyone about the importance of replacing your HVAC air filter. A clean filter helps your air conditioning system operate more efficiently, improves indoor air quality, and can help reduce energy costs.

Why Replace Your Filter?

  • Improves airflow and cooling performance

  • Helps reduce dust, pollen, and other airborne particles

  • Prevents unnecessary strain on the HVAC system

  • May help lower your monthly energy bills

Recommended Replacement Schedule
For most households, we recommend replacing your HVAC filter every 1–3 months, depending on your living situation:

  • Every 30–60 days if you have pets, allergies, or use your HVAC system frequently.

  • Every 90 days for typical household use.

Helpful Tips

  • Make sure the replacement filter is the correct size for your unit.

  • Install the filter with the airflow arrow pointing toward the HVAC system.

  • Do not operate your HVAC system without a filter installed.
