Check or Change Your Filter!

It's the beginning of month, what better time to get in the habit of changing your air filter?!  


Even if you have a filter that last several months, you should take the time to make sure the filter hasn't become dirty early. Every home's and family's situation is different. Please understand that the length of time a manufacturer states on a filter is an average. This length of time may need to be adjusted for your home. Factors such as the number of people in your home, pets, the number of times your doors opens per day, and even how often you burn candles are all factors.

So, what exactly does the air filter do and how does it work?  The air filter is positioned where air is pulled into the system. The filter traps air-born particles that get sucked in with the air and keeps them from blocking the blower and clogging up the coils.  Clogged coils can't heat or cool the air passing over them.  A clogged coil and blocked blower may damage the system!  So, the air filter performs the important job of helping your heating and cooling system do it's job, and keeps it running efficiently.  This helps to prolong the life of your heating and cooling system.
