About Desert Peak Climate Solutions

A: It is recommended to replace your HVAC filter every 1-3 months to maintain optimal performance and indoor air quality. During the windy seasons, filters tend to accumulate dirt faster as they catch more pollutants from the air. If you have pets, it is advisable to replace the filter monthly to handle pet dander and additional allergens. Regular filter replacement is crucial as these filters not only capture dust but also trap allergens and other pollutants lingering in your home. Consistently changing your filter will help keep your HVAC system running efficiently and extend its lifespan, ensuring you stay comfortable year-round.

Most systems should be profesionally serviced twice a year - typically in the spring and fall.

With proper maintenance, most systems last 10-15 years for AC units and 15-20 years for furnaces and heat pumps.

High bills are often caused by dirty filters, lack of maintenance, aging equipment, or improperly sized systems.

Replacement is usually recommended when the system is over 10 years old and repairs are frequent or costly.

Proper sizing depends on your home's square footage, insulation, layout, and other factors - a professional load calculation is required to determine the right size.
