Your Seasonal Filter Maintenance Checklist

A Little Routine Goes a Long Way

Filters work hardest at different times of year. A simple seasonal routine keeps your air clean and your system efficient without much effort.

Spring

  • Pollen peaks — check filters monthly and replace loaded ones
  • Consider stepping up to a higher grade for allergy sufferers

Summer

  • Heavy air conditioning use and bushfire smoke risk
  • Check filters more often; keep higher-grade or smoke-rated spares on hand
  • Clean split system filters every few weeks

Autumn

  • A good time for a thorough filter change heading into cooler months
  • Inspect seals and frames for gaps that cause air bypass

Winter

  • Systems run for heating — keep filters clean for efficiency
  • Watch for condensation and damp; replace any filter that gets wet

Year-Round Basics

  • Check standard filters every one to three months
  • Never refit a damp washable filter
  • Keep spares on hand so changes never get delayed
