How to Replace Your Furnace Filter

A dirty or clogged furnace filter can restrict airflow throughout your home, make your heating and cooling system work harder, put unnecessary strain on your furnace and air conditioner, potentially lead to expensive repairs or premature equipment failure.

Set a monthly reminder to inspect your furnace filter and replace it when needed. Some filters last longer than 30 days, depending on the filter type, household conditions, and manufacturer recommendations.

If your condenser is mounted on standoff brackets, adding rubber vibration pads between the unit and the brackets can help reduce vibration noise coming into the house. And, if you hear a loud buzz or thump when it kicks on, a soft start kit may help by letting the compressor ramp up more smoothly.

Yard Flooding on a New Construction Home, Check This!

During construction builders are required to put in a filter basket in the storm sewer, so we don’t contaminate the system. That filter has to remain in place until the new sod has taken root, and sometimes they forget to come back and remove it. If you’re experiencing flooding, let your builder know, so they can come back to see if the filter basket needs to be removed. It makes a world of difference.
