Something We Can All Agree On
Thursday, August 19th, 2010When it comes to maintenance of your air conditioner and furnace we can all agree on one thing, it’s really important. If you’ve ever had to do without the comfort of heat in winter or cool air in the summer you know how unbearable it can be. Let’s be clear we are not talking about being spoiled, but rather the frustration of having to deal with equipment failures and repairs.

When you change your filter, write the date on the side of the filter so that weeks later you can have a more accurate gauge of when it’s due for a change. There are many different types of filters, some inexpensive filters and more costly filters. What you will find is the least expensive filters for your furnace allow more airflow but sacrifice on blocking the dust, dirt, dander and pollen that a better more costly filter will catch.
