Cleaning and Changing the Filter for your Furnace

When cleaning and changing the filter, you will help provide the best quality air needed for your home. If the filter has become dirty and clogged, it will not be able to allow air to move through the filter as it otherwise should be. Always make sure to follow the correct schedule for when the filter should be inspected, cleaned, or changed. This way you will help to keep your HVAC system operating in the best condition possible. If you are not sure how often the system should be inspected or maintained, make sure to contact us. We can set up a schedule and come to inspect the system.

Cleaning the Filter

Cleaning the filter will be necessary in some cases. When you clean it, you can still continue to use it awhile longer. Over time though, the filter will become so dirty that a new one is recommended. Make sure that you change the filter with the correct one. The size and type should match the filter that is already in place. This way the system will continue to work efficiently. It will also be easier on the parts and components and reduce the wear. If you run the furnace without a filter, you increase the chance of dirt and dust getting into the gears. This will then lead to damage and a costly repair bill.

If you notice any odd noises or sounds from the furnace and heater, make sure to contact us as soon as possible. You will want to have this fixed before a larger problem occurs. Cleaning the ductwork or exterior of the furnace may also be needed. You will want to make sure that you notice any issue. Doing so will help the furnace to run smoother and more efficient. It will also help to keep your home warm and comfortable.
