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.
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.

Please take care of this ASAP.
How did you learn about this, a bad experience?

*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.
