I have baseboard heat so it’s not like I have forced air heat and it runs all year. The unit only runs in summer. I thought twice a season was more than adequate. I’m ready to change it now again as I will probably run A/C through September. Thoughts?

Mostly depends on the quality of your filter. The cheapy $2 ones should certainly be changed every month. A good quality pleated filter usually recommends every 3 months. But better too often than not enough.
