FILTER CHANGING



Filter changing is a very important part of keeping your air conditioning/heat pump system running properly. If you buy a filter that states that it is a 3-month filter, don't be fooled. The length of time in between changing your filter depends on many factors: pets, children, traffic in-and-out of the home, outdoor environment, etc. Be sure to check your filter monthly (in some instances every 2 weeks). Your filter may not require changing (if you can hold your filter up to the light & see through it, then it probably will not need changing; but if it is partially dirty, make sure to check it the next week). Never, remove your filter and just turn it over. The dirt that is on the filter will be drawn up into your evaporator coil, causing it to eventually clog. Keeping your filter clean can help your electric consumption, prolong the life of your system, prevent compressor failure, along with other component failures. Make it a point to check your filter regularly.
