Remember to Change Your Furnace Filters

Clean or change the filter on your furnace regularly so that it will run more efficiently.

To keep your furnace working at its optimal performance you need to either change or clean your furnace filter on a regular basis. Furnace filters that become clogged with dirt and dust particles don’t clean air efficiently and force your furnace to work harder. Not to mention that dirty filters can increase operating costs and affect the life and efficiency of heating and air conditioning equipment.

If the filter is reusable, remove it, wash down with a hose and then re-insert. Otherwise, you’ll want to replace it with a new one. Always invest in the best filter you can afford after considering your furnace requirements. Not only will it clean your household air better, it may not need to be replaced as frequently as a cheaper model.
