Asked Questions
Q. How often should I change the fiberglass filter in
my furnace?
A.
Each home has its own need and variables. Check it once
a month until you get in tune with how often it will
be necessary. Changing your filter is a basic function
that will in itself " if done regularly" keep
your equipment operating at top efficiency.
Q.
What is the best filter or filter style for my system?
A.
The fiberglass filter is the standard Builder Grade
offering. It is the entry level of the filter world.
You should protect your furnace and A/c coil with a
quality filter. An investment in a quality filtration
system at this time could add years to your furnace
and A/c life and keep your efficiency ratings at the
levels you paid for when you purchased your system.
With poor habits and poor Quality air filtration you
can easily increase your operating costs by 50% as well
as restrict the air flow in your home leaving some area's
in your home starving for air flow. a Pleated filter
is a fine comprimise However it still leaves you without
the protection your Equipment deserves. Save a few bucks
on the filter and harm your equipment. An *Aprilaire

long run will save you more by far than your investment
in it. See our Product Page for the *Aprilaire link

Q.
My Furnace won't run is their anything I can do for
myself to get it running?
A.
There are some safe things that you can do without harming
your unit or yourself. Do you have fuel? Do
you have Electric? DO you have a furnace switch and
is it on? Have you cleaned or replaced your filter recently?,
if so be sure the door on the furnace is properly closed.
If the blower door is not in correctly the furnace won't
operate. Check the thermostat and see if it is on and
calling either for heat or cooling. Raise or lower the
thermostat temperature to be sure of a call for heat
or cooling. Check for tripped breakers and turn the
proper breakers fully on and off again to insure their
on [ whether or not it is visibly tripped]. Do not push
the reset on your oil burner more than once as it could
cause a dangerous condition. If you smell gas do nothing,
do not turn any switches on or off. Leave your home
and call us or your gas company.
