It’s that time of year again! We like to give our customers a “PSA” on the importance of an air filter change, especially when the temperatures start to shift from hot to cold. We’re getting some chilly nights these days, which means our furnaces are running to keep our homes warm and comfortable. If you’ve got a furnace system, or some other forced-air heating system, then you’re going to want to change your air filter soon.
Dirty furnace filters in Georgetown, MI can be the cause of a lot of different problems. The increase in strain can cause problems for the interior components of your furnace, while the extra energy used will allow for the system to become inefficient. We’re going to go over the various different ways a dirty, unchanged air filter can cause problems below. Make the right choice for your home and change out the air filter when the time is right.
There are plenty of ways to say it: “Goodbye!”, “Adios”, “Au Revoir!”, but no matter how you say it, eventually, you will need to face the idea that at some point, you are going to have to say goodbye to your air conditioner. Sure, we understand that letting go isn’t always easy, but sometimes it is much-needed! This is especially the case if you are still operating an older or outdated air conditioning system.
As we always say here at GRmetro Heating & Cooling, HVAC systems are a lot like cars. In order to function properly, they require routine maintenance throughout the entirety of their lifespan. It would be pretty reckless to never change the oil on your car and expect it to drive you safely and efficiently, right? That being said, as many of us have experienced, both cars and AC units don’t live forever. They can grow old and start causing problems that soon make them more of a hassle than they’re worth.
Cold and flu season is in full force, and you may or may not have already been hit. That doesn’t mean you won’t get sick again, of course, and keeping that heating system running nonstop throughout the season isn’t helping.
