FURNACE FILTER

Your HVAC system is equipped with a filter to catch dust particles prior to entering the blower and furnace area. This filter needs to be replaced monthly for optimum performance and longevity of the HVAC system. It filters the air during both cooling and heating. Regardless of the season or the air demand in your home, all the air goes through this filter year round.

To replace your filter, which is located on the side or underneath the blower in your furnace room, simply turn off the fan, then remove the old filter and dispose of it. Insert the new filter of the correct size and in the correct orientation, and then turn your fan settings back to your desired option. Filters come with arrows on them to indicate the proper orientation of the filter - the arrow should always point towards the furnace. The fan can be turned off at the thermostat using the fan setting button, or by turning the white switch “off“ on the side of the furnace. Replacement

The filter is an integral part of the system and must be maintained by replacing it monthly in order to keep the system running properly. When properly maintained, a clean filter will maximize air flow and minimize dust in the system. This will provide the following benefits if done properly along with other HVAC maintenance best practices:

Cleaner air inside the home.

Maximum life of your HVAC system and equipment

Maximum comfort in the home - cooler in the summer, and warmer in the winter.

Neglecting monthly air filter replacements will result in:

Poor performance of the HVAC system and equipment which will hinder your systems ability to achieve the desired temperature.

Decreased air quality and air mixture inside the home.

Shortened life of your HVAC system and equipment.
