HVAC Filter FAQs
Common questions about HVAC filter replacement service.
How much does filter replacement cost?
HVAC filter replacement service starts at $125 per visit, which includes the filter, installation, and a quick system check. Volume pricing is available for multi-unit properties or quarterly service agreements.
How often should I change HVAC filters?
Standard 1-inch fiberglass or pleated filters should be checked monthly and replaced every 1-3 months. Thicker 4-5 inch media filters from Honeywell or Aprilaire typically last 6-12 months. Pet dander and high-use homes need more frequent changes.
What MERV rating should I use?
MERV 8-11 is appropriate for most residential systems and captures dust, pollen, and mold spores. MERV 13 and higher helps with finer particles including some bacteria and smoke, but can restrict airflow on systems not designed for high-resistance filters.
Can I just buy filters and change them myself?
You certainly can, but I verify the correct filter dimensions, inspect the filter housing gasket seal, and take a visual look at the air handler while I’m there. Many homeowners find the scheduled service keeps them on track.
Do you service multiple HVAC zones?
Yes, I replace filters in all zones and air handlers on the same visit, and can set up a coordinated replacement schedule so all filters get changed on the same cycle.
