Furnace Filters
Did you know that in order to maintain good air flow, you need to keep your furnace filter clean? There are a number of furnace filter options. There are disposable, washable, electronic, and electrostatic filters. A number of factors play into how quickly your filter will become dirty. Just keep in mind that you should check your filter every month and replace it or clean it once it gets dirty.
Equipment Servicing
Your equipment can work more effectively if it is serviced in both the spring and fall. This will help detect any problems you may have with your equipment before there is a greater demand for its operation.
As your furnace ages, it is necessary to check the heat exchanger for any cracks or openings that could leak carbon monoxide into your home. It is also good to clean the furnace so that it will continue to heat your home as it should. A dirty furnace will not always work the first time the thermostat tells it to turn on.
Cleaning both your outside and inside air conditioning coils will increase the efficiency of your unit and prolong its operation. A dirty inside coil can decrease the air flow and overwork the air conditioner.
Save Your Money
We all want to save some money during this time as our utility prices keep increasing. Keep in mind that changing your filter on a regular basis along with a regular clean and check from your HVAC contractor will help your equipment to run more efficiently; therefore, saving you more money in the long run.
