Air quality guide
The air inside your home starts at the filter.
Every time your heating or cooling runs, your home's air passes through one filter. In the desert, keeping it fresh is the simplest thing you can do for the air you breathe.

What your filter is up against
Desert dust & sand
Fine desert particles find their way in through doors, gaps, and your HVAC return, then circulate through every room.
Construction dust
With building going on across the valley, homes near active sites pick up extra fine dust.
Seasonal allergens
Landscaping and ornamental trees bring pollen, and wind events stir up more.
Wildfire smoke
Western wildfires can push smoke into the valley for days at a time.
Why the 90-day rule doesn't apply here
The replacement interval on the filter package assumes a moderate climate. Las Vegas homes run the AC from spring through fall and the heat on winter nights, so the filter is working almost every day. Add desert dust and spring windstorms and most homes here need a fresh filter every 30 to 60 days.
A clogged filter doesn't just stop cleaning the air. It restricts airflow, and dirty air can start slipping around the edges. The fix is simple: change it on schedule. That's exactly what our plans do for you.
MERV 8 or MERV 11?
MERV 8 is the standard filter and handles household dust, pollen, and lint well. MERV 11 captures finer particles, including pet dander and fine dust, and is a popular choice for homes with pets or allergies. Both are priced as one flat rate per visit with up to two filters included; the MERV 11 upgrade is $20 more per visit and is available on recurring plans.
FAQ
Air quality questions
Will a better air filter help with allergies?
Upgrading from MERV 8 to MERV 11 captures more pollen, pet dander, and fine dust. Combined with changing the filter on schedule, many households notice the difference.
How do I know if my filter needs changing?
Dust building up quickly after cleaning, allergy symptoms that are worse indoors, stale air, and a filter that looks gray or brown are all signs it's past due.
Does changing the filter help during smoke events?
A fresh filter captures more of the particles your system pulls in. During smoke events, keep windows closed and consider changing the filter sooner than usual.
Never remember to change your air filter again.
