How Wildfire Smoke 
Clogs Your Filters
So when smoke rolls into LA, tiny particles 
get sucked into your outdoor AC unit. 
These aren't your typical household dust 
particles they're way smaller and they 
stick to filters in a totally different way. 
Signs Your Filter Needs 
Attention
See any of these? Your filter needs 
replacement sooner than you'd normally 
expect. The longer you wait, the worse it 
gets and you'll end up damaging other 
parts of your system too.
Replacement 
Frequency During 
Smoke Season
Normally, you're looking at changing your 
filter every three months. But during 
active wildfire periods? That timeline 
changes dramatically.You might need to 
swap it out every two to four weeks. 
Protecting Your System
A good technician can look for smoke damage you might 
not spot yourself. They'll check inside your ducts for ash 
buildup and make sure all your components aren't being 
overworked or strained.
When to Call for Help
When problems stick around even after you've 
done the basics, it's time to call in the pros.
