New air conditioning system installation in residential home

How Often Should You Replace Your Filter?

The longest you should go between replacing furnace filters is three months. Check your filters monthly to see whether they have visible dirt or other buildup. You should also replace your filters more often in the summer when your air conditioner runs frequently.

Other factors can influence how often you should replace your filters too. Those who smoke, own pets or live in areas with high air pollution may need to change their filters more frequently. A larger house will also require replacement filters more regularly because significant volumes of air circulate through the system.

The Types of Filters Available

When you replace an AC filter, you have several options to choose from:

Fiberglass: This standard, affordable filter type works well for catching dust, pollen and carpet fibers.
Pleated: A fabric filter with pleats can capture small contaminants like pet dander, mold spores and pollen.
Electrostatic: This material uses a static charge to catch contaminants and works incredibly well for allergy sufferers.
Washable: Filters you can vacuum or rinse are excellent for preventing buildup and replacement, making them cheaper and better for the environment.
HEPA: High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters are highly effective at catching large and small particles.

Filter Replacement Services

At Strada Air Conditioning and Heating, our professional technicians can help you find the right size and type of filter for your home. We can also discuss factors like a filter’s minimum efficiency rating value (MERV), which ranges from 1 to 16. A MERV of 8 is standard, while a MERV of 13 is better at catching particulates but may reduce your system’s efficiency.

After you find a suitable filter for your home, our technicians can replace it during a regular maintenance visit. By linking this service with other preventive maintenance work, we make it much more convenient to change your filters.

Shout out to Johayward Bradshaw with Strada Services for an outstanding job providing maintenance to our HVAC system. He is very knowledgeable. He was thorough with explaining what needed to be done and advised us on maintaining our HVAC for years to come. He was very patient and answered all of our questions. I would not hesitate to recommend Strada Services.

5 Stars – Outstanding experience with Frankie from Starda Services I recently had Frankie from Starda Services out to work on my HVAC system, and he completely exceeded every expectation. From the moment he arrived, it was clear he brings a rare combination of deep technical expertise and genuine customer care. Frankie’s knowledge of HVAC systems is exceptional. He didn’t just diagnose the issue—he clearly understood the full picture of how everything was interacting and explained exactly what needed to be done and why. What stood out most was his ability to take genuinely complex technical topics and break them down into plain, easy-to-understand language without ever talking down to me. I left the conversation actually understanding my system better, which is something I rarely experience with service technicians. Beyond the technical side, his customer service was outstanding. He was professional, punctual, respectful of my home, and took the time to answer every question thoroughly. He never rushed, never pushed unnecessary work, and made sure I felt completely comfortable with the plan before moving forward. It’s obvious he takes real pride in doing the job right and treating customers well. If you’re looking for an HVAC technician who is highly knowledgeable, communicates clearly, and delivers excellent service, Frankie is the one to request. Starda is lucky to have him, and I’ll be calling on him again without hesitation. Highly recommended.

The technician Yoandry Garcia from Strada Services, was absolutely amazing. He was professional and even helped to move things around to get into the AC room. Thank God for his knowledge, skill and ability. I was able to not go to bed in temperatures of 91 degrees inside the house. Outside was 97degrees. So many blessings Yoandry!
