How Do You Change The Air Filter In A Furnace?
Everybody should learn how to change an air filter in a furnace. The furnace air filter captures particles and dust in the air that would prematurely wear the heating coils and fan. Air filters also reduce the allergens in the indoor air we breathe. Change the furnace air filter every three months to keep the air quality up and reduce wear on your furnace. Many different types of air filters are available at your hardware store. Present the model number and brand of furnace when you speak with a sales associate about which filter is right for your furnace. Turn the circuit breaker to the furnace off. The circuit breaker is located in your home’s electrical panel. An emergency shutoff switch is also near the furnace. If you are unable to determine the correct circuit breaker, the emergency shutoff switch can be turned off. Locate the cold air duct where the fresh air enters your furnace. The filters are usually inside the cold air duct or behind the access panel of the blower chamber. S
