3 Reasons to Change Your Air Filter Monthly in Spring

Spring pollen is heavy and clogs filters fast A clean filter catches more pollen before it recirculates through your house. Waiting the standard three months means the filter gets clogged and bypasses pollen straight into your living room.

Disposable MERV 8 or higher filters beat washable ones for pollen Washable filters are less effective at trapping fine pollen. Stick with a decent disposable filter to keep pollen out.
