The time has come to change those air conditioner filters. By changing your filters new you will have a fresh filter in your air conditioner just in time for allergy season, which is right around the corner. We recommend the highest MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) filter you can find. Generally a 1” pleated filter will come in a MERV 11. These can be purchased at most any store. If you are interested in buying a case of filters or you have a hard to find size give us a call at 817-645-8011 and we can order your filters for much less than you would pay buying them one at a time.

A 1” pleated filter will usually last 2-3 months in a clean house. If you have pets or small children they probably need to be changed every 1-2 months.
