00:10 another question we get asked is how
00:12 often should I replace my filter and
00:15 that's actually gonna be based on usage
00:17 and what type of filter you have so if
00:20 you have a really basic cheap filter and
00:23 you use the system a lot you probably
00:25 are gonna wind up replacing that filter
00:26 every thirty days
00:27 if you've got a really nice filter and
00:31 you use the system very little you might
00:34 replace it once a year so it's very hard
00:36 to just straight-up answer that question
00:38 because each says each system is gonna
00:40 work differently for each homeowner most
00:43 of the time we're replacing filters
00:45 every sixty to ninety days because it's
00:47 pretty rare that people are going to use
00:48 the cheap 30 day 99-cent filters but
00:51 it's also pretty rare that people are
00:53 gonna use the really expensive you know
00:55 thirty dollar filter that lasts C ninety
00:57 days but long the short of it is the
01:01 filter on the side says how often it
01:02 should be replaced and you should keep
01:04 up with that because you don't want to
01:05 choke the system off and starve it for
01:07 error because it could cause
01:08 catastrophic failure or damage to the
01:10 equipment or leave you with a breakdown
01:12 where you don't have heating in cool
