How to Maintain Your Furnace Filter
Filed under Family HealthJul 1Are you avoiding the inevitable need to change your furnace filter? Is it one of those tedious tasks that you feel you wish not to undertake because you are no master of mechanical ability? Well, you can stop worrying and change your furnace filter in a matter of a few minutes, and in just 3 simple and easy to follow steps. You might think that changing your furnace filter is more of hassle than it is worth, but in reality, your heater’s filter is a very important piece of household property. A properly cleaned furnace filter can not only protect the respiratory health of your family by filtering harmful and agitating substances out of the air, but it can also help your furnace to run more efficiently due to an open airflow, not only saving you money, but also reducing the risk of a home fire as a result of a clogged filter.
You should check your air filters for blockage at least once a month, especially if you use continuous heat throughout the winter season. While people still use disposable fiberglass filters, the reusable filters that are out on the market have several advantages over the old, use once and throw away fiberglass filters. They are dependable, are inexpensive (under $50), and as they can be easily washed and reused, save you money, as well as lightening the environmental impact that disposable products present. In no time you should see an increase in your furnaces efficiency (and thus lower bills), and without the need to buy a new filter for every filter change, you should see a direct financial gain from the use of reusable furnace filters.
The reusable, non disposable varieties are way cheaper and surprisingly easy to maintain. Plus, over the course of its lifetime, a single reusable furnace filter will save you a great deal of money.
The following is a short, easy to follow filter changing guide.
1 - First of all, and by far the most safety critical step is to switch the gas or electricity supply off. The last thing you want is a nasty shock. 2 - Next you need to locate the furnace filters service panel. It’s possible the door is locked with a special key so you should dig out the instructions manual to check the tools you’ll need. 3 - Take a look inside and find the spongy panel, this is the filter. Take it out of the unit and hold it up to a light to see if you can see through it. A light source passing through is a good indication that the filter is in good condition and doesn’t require heavy cleaning. Shake it off and reinsert it in the exact same position you found it in. If it is clogged up it’s going to need a good clean through so take it out in the garden and hose it down to clear out all the dust and debris. Getting rid of all the blockages is really important.
If you replace the old filter with a new one make sure to reinsert the exact same filter. If you’re reinserting the old one that you cleaned through you must ensure its dried right through. If you place a wet filter in the furnace it’ll attract more dust and dirt and require changing again in a fraction of the usual time.
That’s really all there is to it. It’s a simple and crucially important task which must be carried out.
