Systems and methods for predicting HVAC filter change

A computer-implemented system for estimating a replacement status of an air filter in a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, comprising:

• one or more processors of one or more computing devices configured to:
• obtain outdoor weather data for an outdoor environment related to the HVAC system, wherein the outdoor weather data includes at least information indicative of a pollution-related parameter at the outdoor environment of a dwelling that comprises the HVAC system;
• determine a Total Runtime Value of a fan of the HVAC system based at least in part upon the obtained outdoor weather data;
• and
• estimate the replacement status of the air filter as a function of a comparison of the Total Runtime Value with a Baseline Value, and deliver a notification of the replacement status of the air filter to a user.

A computer-implemented method for estimating a replacement status of an air filter in a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, the computer-implemented method executed by one or more processors of one or more computing devices, and comprising the steps of:

• determining a Total Runtime Value of a fan of the HVAC system;
• estimating the replacement status of the air filter as a function of a comparison of the Total Runtime Value with a Baseline Value;
• and,
• delivering a notification of the replacement status of the air filter to a user,
• wherein the Baseline Value is determined as a function of a pollution-related parameter at the outdoor environment of a dwelling that comprises the HVAC system.
