I change my filters every two months. After 11 years I had to replace the air conditioner (both inside and out) because it died. I decided to have the ducts cleaned. They were filthy. When the guy went up into the return (which is in the ceiling in my home) you could not ever recognize him because all of the gray lint and stuff that was all over him.

The filter is at the air conditioning unit and all of the dust, lint, cat and dog hair, etc. gets sucked up into the returns and through the ducts to the filter at the unit. Apparently not all of it makes it to the filter.

I think that this will become a five year project from now on.
