Did you know that one of the best ways to keep your furnace running in peak condition, is also one of the easiest? That’s right, changing out your furnace filter is key to not only improving indoor air quality, but also helping your furnace run efficiently and effectively for longer!
Your furnace filter should be inspected and replaced regularly, about every 3 months. So, in today's monthly tip post, the heating experts at Cross Heating & Air Conditioning are going to show you how to change your furnace filter to keep things warm, cozy and fresh!
Begin by removing the old filter and disposing of appropriately. Unfortunately, most furnace filters aren’t able to be recycled due to the materials used to make them, and the often large amounts of dust and debris caught inside.
Then, determine what type of filter you have. On most standard filters, you can find the size of your filter along with an arrow, indicating the direction to insert the filter, on one of the sides.
Finally, slide your filter in with the arrow pointing to the interior of the furnace.
If you’re inserting a larger ram filter, you will once again look for the arrow, but this time you are going to have the arrow pointing away from you and insert the filter on an angle to slide it into the guard rails. This ensures a perfectly snug fit.
After you’ve inserted the filter, simply shut the door to the filter compartment, sit back and relax and enjoy dust-free air.
Breathe easy and keep your furnace happy with a fresh filter from Cross!
