Change Your Air Filter Regularly
Check your filter every month, especially during the heavy use months like winter and summer. If the filter looks dirty after one month, change it. At a minimum, change the filter every 3 months. A dirty filter will slow down air flow and make the system work harder, therefore wasting energy. A clean filter will also prevent dust and dirt from building up in the system that could potentially lead to expensive maintenance and/or early system failure.
