To prevent unwanted breakdowns and costly repairs:

• Service furnace and air conditioner at least every two years (for the average furnace, older furnaces should be looked at yearly)
• Wash/change/replace furnace filter at least every two months – some specialty filters need only be replaced every 8-12 months
• Always call your service technician right away when you hear noises coming from your furnace.  Noises typically get worse over time and could cause a no heat inconvenience.

• When to change your furnance filter: Do you need to change your furnace filter? If you can't see through the filter when you hold it up to a light, you need to change it. You may need a new one every month- especially if anyone has dust allergies or if you have pets. .
