Don’t Let Dust Bunnies Haunt Your Home: Why Fall is Prime Time for a Filter Change

As the leaves fall and the weather cools, many of us are swapping out summer decor, lighting our favorite fall candles, and cozying up indoors. But while you're refreshing your home for the season, there's one invisible invader you don't want to overlook: dust. And its spooky sidekick? A clogged air filter.

Welcome to the season of closed windows, cranked-up heat, and—you guessed it—dust bunnies lurking in your vents. Here's why fall is the perfect time to change your air filter and start breathing happier.

Why Fall Is the Filter-Switching MVP Season

1. More Time Indoors = More Air to Clean

In the cooler months, your home becomes a sealed space. That means dust, allergens, pet dander, and even cooking particles are circulating over and over again. If your filter’s clogged, it’s not catching any of it. A fresh filter ensures your indoor air stays fresh, even when you're hibernating inside.

2. Heating Season = HVAC Systems Working Harder

As soon as the furnace kicks on, your HVAC system starts working overtime. A clean filter helps your system run more efficiently, reduces energy usage, and protects your wallet from unnecessary wear and tear. Dirty filters force your system to work harder—making it less efficient and more likely to break down mid-season.

3. Fall Allergies Are Real

Many people assume allergies disappear after summer, but ragweed, mold spores, and dust are all common in the fall. A fresh air filter helps trap those particles so they don’t settle on your furniture—or in your lungs.

4. Holiday Hosting Is Around the Corner

Between Thanksgiving and holiday gatherings, you’ll likely be welcoming more guests into your home. A clean filter keeps your air smelling and feeling fresh—even after hours of cooking, foot traffic, and cozy fires.

Not Sure If It’s Time to Change Your Filter?

Here are some signs your air filter may be long overdue:

• Your home feels dustier than usual
• The filter looks gray or clogged
• Your HVAC system sounds louder or runs longer than normal
• You can’t remember the last time you changed it (we’ve all been there)
