Our recommended annual tune up includes a 17 point Service and Safety Inspection. Manufacturers recommend your furnace be tuned up on an annual basis to assure continued efficiency and dependability.
TIPS
- Change 1″ filters once a month
- Change 4″ high efficient filters at least twice a year (spring and fall).
- Electronic air cleaner cells and pre-filters should be washed monthly in a laundry tub, dishwasher or the bathtub. Do not return to the cartridge until it is completely dry.
- Air to Air Exchangers filters should be cleaned once a month.
These are only recommendations. The frequency of filter changes is driven by how much the HVAC system operates, which is driven by the severity of the seasons. Pets in the home can also cause filters to need changing / cleaning more often. Hold the used filter up to the light and compare it to a new, clean spare
filter. When light is obscured by captured dust and dirt particles, the old filter should be changed.
- Humidifier pads should be replaced annually, prior to the heating season.
