What we did
Our technician Ivan made a scheduled HVAC maintenance visit in Versailles in November. This job involved inspecting and replacing air filters at two different locations, and both called for the same size: 14 x 20 x 1.
Ivan inspected each filter and installed new ones, keeping airflow moving freely and supporting system performance. Filters are easy to forget about, especially when there is more than one to keep track of, but they have a direct effect on how well the system can move air. A filter that has gone too long without a change makes the equipment work harder than it should.
Our focus on visits like this is doing the basics well, because the basics are what keep a system efficient. November is when many Kentucky homes switch over to heating for the season, and starting that stretch with clean filters helps the system run efficiently through the winter. The furnace and the rest of the system benefit from steady airflow, and the home benefits from cleaner air. If you have more than one filter and are not sure when they were last changed, scheduled maintenance is an easy way to stay on top of it.
