Time to change your furnace filter

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.

Inspection or no inspection?

Before a serious buyer makes an offer on your home, he may want to have a professional home inspector check your house from top to bottom. The option of hiring a professional home inspector is open to you, the seller, as well.

An inspection in advance of putting your home on the market is a good idea. It will allow you ample time to fix the things that you may not have known about, ultimately allowing you to ask for and receive a better price for your home.

Providing a pre-inspection may also reassure prospective buyers that no major surprises are in store. Better you find them and take care of them before an inspector hired by a potential buyer discovers them!

If you need a referral to a quality inspector, contact Bill Brandsma Real Estate, specializing in Calgary and the surrounding area. Call 403-253-5678.
