As temperatures drop, your heating system is about to become one of the hardest working appliances in your home. Before the heating season gets into full swing, take a few minutes to replace your furnace filter.
It’s a small task, but a clean filter plays an important role in keeping your heating system running efficiently. Dust, pet hair and other debris accumulates in filters over time. This restricts airflow and makes your furnace work harder to circulate warm air throughout your home. With limited airflow, your system uses more energy and has a harder time maintaining consistent temperatures.
If you’re not sure which filter is right for your system, find out how to choose the right furnace filter for your home.
While you prepare your home for colder temperatures, consider other ways to improve heating efficiency:
- Seal drafts around doors and windows.
- Adjust your thermostat when you're away.
- Schedule routine HVAC maintenance.
