Clogged fiberglass disposable fliter

There are many different types of filters to use, with the most common being fiberglass disposable filters. Regardless of the type of filter in your system, filters should be changed at least twice a year. Of course this is going to depend on living conditions in the home. Are there pets in the home or maybe you live in an area with high winds and lots of dust. The other thing to look at is the MERV rating on the filter. The higher the MERV rating the better job the filter will do removing dust particles in the air.
