Change Furnace Filters Often

By
Real Estate Agent with Realty World Alliance

With the indoor season here and winter in full swing it's a good time to check your HVAC.

One way to take care of your real estate investment and your health is by maintaining the HVAC equipment. That means having it serviced regularly and changing filters.

The quality of the air we breath influences our general health and well-being.   Dust and other airborne particles can cause a variety of ailments ranging from simple allergic reactions to more complicated respiratory diseases. Maintaining clean furnace filters in your home will help to increase the purity of the air you breath and reduce the likelihood of suffering a medical condition.

Furnace filters should be changed once a month during the cold seasons and at least once during the rest of the year. In Wichita Kansas that means once a month from about October through April.

The use of a clean furnace filter will help your furnace to run more efficiently, decreasing energy bills and reducing the frequency of maintenance and repair needs. Please remember to turn the furnace power off before changing the filter.

Joel, this is great advice and so easy to do! In Texas we change filters all twelve months due to frequent use of our HVAC systems.

It's not a game, it's your life.

Joel, we don't have the need for furnaces much out here but I do think that they should be changed monthly when it is cold.
