Yes, looking at the filter periodically is a good idea. I've seen cheap
filters that failed and periodic inspection would catch that and limit
the damage.

Beyond that, there are a few air filter monitors available that monitor
airflow or pressure and indicate when a filter should be changed similar
to the indicators on most truck air filters these days.

I think everybody should install a Dwyer Magnehelic.

Then, they will not only know when it's time to change the filter, but
they'll know if they have a shitty duct system.
