    Make sure you’re changing your HVAC/furnace filter every 2-3 months if dust is a major problem for you. Especially if you have to dust more than once every week or three.

        Sorry but this is not something you can just avoid doing. Your air conditioner/furnace will literally break if you’re not staying on top of filter replacements. New filter every 3 months is the longest you can get away with not replacing it before dust buildup starts damaging your system.

        Please take care of this ASAP.

            Honestly, I’m surprised that this isn’t common sense. Think about it: filter gets clogged, fan struggles to move air due to clogged filter, fan eventually overheats and dies from too much stress. Doesn’t take a bad experience to figure out the blatantly obvious.

          *with a 1 inch filter

          If you have a 4 or 5 inch filter the capacity is huge. 6 months easy. You can find 4 inch filters that have a lip to fit in a 1-inch slot.
